This paper is the continuation of a research on the stability and postbuckling behaviour of elastic structures; in the first Part [n. 4, Vol. X, 1975 of this Journal], the potential energy of elastic tridimensional bodies has been defined in a suitable configuration space, and its properties of regularity have been studied. According to the program given in the previous Paper, we examine now the potential energy functional for some monodimensional and bidimensional structural models. Then the Part II of this research is developed so that the Liapunov stability of the equilibrium configuration of continuous elastic structures is analyzed by means of suitable energy criteria.
