Abstract: The problem of a semi-infinite work-hardening material with a finite length asymmetric edge crack subjected to uniform remote longitudinal shear is solved exactly by the use of hodograph ...

Abstract: The optimal shapes of shallow circular arches against snap-buckling are obtained by a combination of perturbation method, variational calculus, and the numerical solution of integral equations. ...

Abstract: Formulas are presented for the axial buckling stresses of long circular cylindrical shells having localized or random axisymmetric imperfections. The results are asymptotic in character, applicable ...

Abstract: The dynamic buckling of imperfect finite circular cylindrical shells subjected to suddenly applied and subsequently maintained lateral or hydrostatic pressure is studied using a perturbation method. ...
