Summary
These lecture notes were made after Professor Koiter's last official course at Delft's University of Technology, in the academic year 1978–79. Although these notes were prepared in close collaboration with Professor Koiter, they are written in the author's style. The author is therefore fully responsible for possible errors.
This course covers the entire field of elastic stability, although recent developments in the field of stiffened plates and shells are not included. Hopefully, these lecture notes reflect some of the atmosphere of Dr. Koiter's unique lectures.
