Buckling of Thin Truncated Conical Shells Subjected to Unform External Pressure

摘要

The buckling of simply supported, thin, conical shells subjected to uniform pressure is analyzed in this report. Predicted critical pressure curves are presented in Figures 3 through 9 for various base angles. In using the critical pressure curves for design purposes, it is suggested that the comparison between the predicted results and known experimental values in Figure ll be taken into consideration.
