Abstract: The dynamic buckling of a long column with small dimple imperfections resting on a nonlinear foundation and subjected to axial step-loading is studied using a formal multi-variable perturbation expansion. Simple asymptotic formulas are obtained for the dynamic buckling load and lateral deflection in terms of the Fourier transform of the imperfection. It is found that the static and dynamic buckling loads are equal.
