	Summary:
	This paper seeks to formulate and validate the generalised beam theory (GBT) for the buckling behaviour of aluminium and stainless steel thin-walled members. The analysis consists of calculation cross-section (local) and member (global) deformations and has been shown to be very efficient tool for analyzing local and global stability behaviour of thin-walled cold-formed steel (isotropic) and composite (orthotropic) members. In this work particular attention is paid to the need to define the stability problem in terms of one simple continuous rheological-dynamical modulus function. Verification of GBT, its unique features and capabilities are illustrated by the example of uniformly compressed rectangular plate of stainless steel.
