Abstract: Buckling of thin cylindrical shell liners used for the stabilization of soft ground tunnels is treated as the buckling of an elastic ring restrained radially and tangentially by an infinite surrounding elastic medium. ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric buckling behavior of clamped shallow spherical shells under uniform pressure is investigated using Marguerre's shallow‐shell equations of 1939. The deflected shape of the shell as well as the stress function ...

Abstract: Buckling of pressure loaded cylindrical panels is investigated using a fully nonlinear Ritz solution procedure and a classical bifurcation analysis of an idealized model. The dialectic between these two contrasting approaches ...
