Abstract: The equations governing the distribution of the stresses in a cylindrically orthotropic plate with a circular hole are solved for the case when the plate is subjected to uniform uniaxial ...

Abstract: The creep-buckling phenomenon of circular cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression is studied in the presence of initial imperfections when the creep strain rate is proportional to a ...

Abstract: Formulas and methods are presented in a self-contained manner to help the analyst of stresses and stability in the design office to deal with problems that arise when elements of metal ...

Abstract: Exact solutions are derived of the classical differential equations defining the deformations of axially compressed thin-walled circular cylindrical shells. The end conditions along the circular ...

Abstract: A study is presented of the effect of initial deviations on the load carrying capacity of thin circular cylindrical shells under uniform axial compression. A perturbation expansion is used to ...

Abstract: Closed-form solutions are given of the linear Donnell equations defining the buckling of thin-walled circular cylindrical shells subjected to uniform axial compression. In addition to the classical ...

Abstract: The nonlinear partial differential equations of von Karman and Donnell governing the deformations of initially imperfect cylindrical shells are reduced to a consistent set of ordinary differential ...
