[edit]I've updated the lead section so that readers who aren't nuclear physicists should be better able to understand it now, however I haven't removed the banner as I'm not sure if the rest of the article is contextualized enough or not (as I myself am familiar with this field). I've also updated the 'citations needed' tag. Bee Young King Yellow (talk) 04:45, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
Origin of term
[edit]Why are these things called buckling? The term has other meanings not obviously connected to these. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 14:52, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Proposed by John A. Wheeler @ Met Lab. The convexity of a surface, identical to the -\frac{\nabla^2 \Phi}{\Phi} part. Also related to the DE in mechanics, the buckling of a rod. 17387349L8764 (talk) 12:41, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
