INTRODUCTION
Take an initially straight rod of circular cross section which is composed of an isotropic material. Apply an axially sYmmetric compressive load to it. In general, the rod will assume an equilibrating configuration. However, this equilibrium is not isolated. Because of the symmetry of the rod and the load, the configuration will determine an entire family or "orbit" of other equilibrating configurations which is gained by rotating the image of the original configuration about the axis of sYmmetry through any angle. Now perturb the compressive load by additional loads which break the axial sYmmetry. How does this perturba
