Keywords: limiting load, stress analyses, buckling and post buckling behavior

The paper describe the methods for limit load capacity calculation of thin walled aircraft structures by the all possible forms of buckling and failures under loading. Special attention is focused on method so called “gradually increased loading method” - GILM (original method developed by the author of this paper).
