Abstract
We study the dynamics of the classical Euler buckling instability of compressed objects such as flexible molecular chains and thin rods. We reveal that this dynamics is a coarsening process self-similar in time. We relate this process to phase ordering phenomena such as spinodal decomposition.Keywords
