Abstract: A theory is postulated to explain the dynamic plastic buckling of cylindrical shells in sustained axial compressive flow. Tube impact experiments are described in which uniform axisymmetric waves ...

Abstract: When a load, for instance a heavy roller, moves slowly along the surface of a solid mass of soft material, a “hump” deformation is often observed to precede it. The process of formation ...

Abstract: Rods impacting a rigid target at velocities sufficient to produce several percent axial strain are found to buckle plastically with a fairly reproducible wavelength. This phenomenon is investigated ...

Abstract: In the radial motion of an elastic cylindrical shell following impulsive pressure all round, imperfections in the uniformity can cause development of flexure through interaction of (fluctuating) ...

Abstract: The linear thermoelastic problem is solved for a uniform heat flow disturbed by a hole of ovaloid form, which includes the ellipse and circle as special cases. Results for stress and displacement ...
