Metallic thin-walled beams with continuously varying cross-sections loaded in compression are particularly sensitive to instability problems due to lateral-torsional buckling. Such a phenomenon depends on several parameters, including the cross-sectional properties along the entire length, material properties, load distribution, support, and restraint conditions. Due to the difficulty of obtaining analytic solutions for the problem under consideration, the present study takes a numerical approach based on a variational formulation of the lateral-torsional buckling problem of tapered C-beams. Numerical simulations are compared with experimental results on the buckling of a physical model of at thin-walled beam with uniformly varying cross-section, with the aim of assessing the accuracy of the proposed approach. The good agreement between numerical and experimental results and the reduced computational effort highlight that the proposed variational approach is a powerful tool, provided that the geometry of the structure and the boundary conditions are accurately modeled.
