This is an interesting paper because the authors show what new results can be obtained from the application of the modern mathematical methods of bifurcation and singularity theory to a classical beam buckling problem. By application of the Ljapunov-Schmidt method and the unfolding theory in the spirit of \textit{M. Golubitsky} and \textit{D. Schaeffer} [e.g.: Singularities and groups in bifurcation theory. I. (1985; Zbl 0607.35004) and Commun. Pure appl. Math. 32, 21-98 (1979; Zbl 0409.58007)] the authors show that the problem concerning its imperfection sensitivity behavior is completely described by a Whitney cusp.
