This article focuses on the buckling response of columns formed by pre-twisting a flat, narrow and straight material strip of a rectangular cross section. The experimental analysis accomplished for birch plywood strips covers twisting up to 90 degrees. The corresponding computational analysis covers the twisting process (geometrically nonlinear analysis) and the subsequent compression (linear buckling analysis, including the residual stresses from the twisting process) and includes comparisons for 3D solid and 2D shell finite elements within orthotropic linear elasticity. A further finite element analysis provides findings up to twisting angles of 400 degrees and includes nonlinear post-buckling analyses for the compression subsequent to twisting, in addition to the linear buckling analyses. These sets of analyses reveal some new findings regarding this classical problem. Most importantly, there are four characteristic twisting angles which are associated to mode jumps in buckling, to a plateau in the curve relating the critical load and the twisting angle and, finally, to a loss of stability during the twisting process. The influence of the twisting-induced stresses on the buckling response is investigated as well.
