bulging
As other members have already mentioned, more context would be useful. However, the article under the reference below is very informative with regard to rivetting processes, and "bulging" may be what you are looking for in this case.

hogging
... found in my Langenscheidt Dictionary of Architecture and Construction, as well as Aufwölbungsmoment = hogging moment. According to many Internet sources, hogging is the opposite of sagging (Durchhängen, Durchbiegung) - cf. http://ro.uow.edu.au/engpapers/318/
However, as pointed out by Alan, we'd definitely need more context to be sure.

: Not sure - I'd associate "buckling" with "Knicken" or "Beulen", which is (IMHO) very different from "Aufwölben". We'd definitely need more context.
