Handbook of Structural Stability. Part 3. Buckling of Curved Plates and Shells

摘要

Available theories and test data on buckling of curved plates and shells are reviewed. The test data for torsion and external-pressure loadings are correlated in terms of linear buckling theories for both the elastic and inelastic ranges. The cases which exhibit a marked disagreement between linear theory and test data have been analyzed by a unified semi-empirical approach which is satisfactory for analysis and design purposes. (AN).
