Dynamic Buckling of Cylindrical Shells: A Literature Survey

摘要

A literature survey was conducted in order to ascertain the current theoretical methods available for predicting dynamic buckling behavior of cylindrical shells. Existing theories which give consideration to advanced shell wall geometries and materials are examined. Emphasis is placed on theories which lend themselves either to a closed form solution or to an iterative solution which does not require finite difference or finite element modeling. The task of developing such theories appears to be so overwhelming that few investigators stepped further than the bounds of a simple monocoque shell subjected to end or side-pulse loading. A brief summary and critique of each significant article is included. Further work is directed in the modification of existing programs to create general dynamic shell design criteria. (Author)
