The
elastic stability coefficients decrease while the elastic-plastic stability coefficients increase.

DISCUSSION: The use of elastic stable intramedullary nailing for the treatment of pediatric femoral shaft fractures is based on the principles of
elastic stability and balanced forces (achieved by using the nails of the same diameter).
Atay and Coskun investigated the
elastic stability of a homogenous and nonhomogenous Euler beam [33-39].
Studies of
elastic stability of uniform vertical and longitudinally stiffened girder plates subjected to bending moment and live loads are presented in [9-12].
Beaufait and Hoadley [8], Massalas [9], Lakshmanan [10], and Hui [11] proposed the static, dynamic, and
elastic stability analysis of a beam resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation.
The text is divided into 13 chapters dealing with various subjects, including beam analysis theory, plate analysis theory,
elastic stability and buckling, and fatigue.
The analysis based on the physical and mathematical model enables exact identification of mechanism of
elastic stability.
