DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The purpose of the many examples of buckling presented here is to give the reader a physical feel for shell buckling. Section 1 contains a brief description of two kinds of buckling, collapse and bifrucation. Section 2 concerns shell structures in which the cause of failure is nonlinear collapse due to either large deflections or to both large deflections and nonlinear material behavior. Section 3 gives examples of axisymmetric shells in which failure is due to bifurcation buckling. Section 4 provides examples that illustrate the effects of boundary conditions and eccentric loading on bifurcation buckling of shells of revolution. Section 5 is devoted to combined loading of cylindrical shells and nonsymmetric loading of shells of revolution. Section 6 is on bifurcation buckling and collapse of ring-stiffened shells with emphasis given to cylindrical shells. Section 7 contains several illustrations of buckling of prismatic shells and panels, that is, structures that have a cross section that is constant in one of the coordinate directions. Section 8 focuses on the sensitivity of predicted buckling loads to initial geometrical imperfections. Section 9 demonstrates axisymmetric collapse and bifurcation buckling of bodies of revolution that consist of combinations of thin shell segments and solid segments to which shell theory cannot be applied with sufficient accuracy.

The work was sponsored by Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Bolling AFB, Washington, D. C. under Grant F49620-77-C-0l22 and by the Flight Dynamics Laboratory, Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio under Contract F3361S-76-C-31OS. The work was completed under Task 2307Nl, "Basic Research in Behavior of Metallic and Composite Components of Airframe Structures". The work was admini stered by Lt. Col. J. D. Morgan (AFOSR) and Dr. N. S. Khot (AFWAL/FIBRA). The contract work was performed between October 1977 and December 1980. The technical report was released by the Author in December 1981. Preface Many structures are assembled from parts which are thin. For example, a stiffened plate or cylindrical panel is composed of a sheet the thickness of which is small com pared to its length, breadth, and stiffener- spacing, and stiffeners the thickness of which is small compared to their _ heights and lengths. These assembled structures, loaded in compression, can buckle overall, that is sheet and stiffeners can collapse together in a general instability mode; the sheet can buckle locally between stiffeners; the stiffeners can cripple; and a variety of complex buckling interactions can occur involving local and overall deformations of both sheet and stiffeners. More complex, built-up structures can buckle in more complex and subtle ways.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Thin shells are very popular structures in many different branches of engineering. There are the domes, water and cooling towers, the contain ments in civil engineering, the pressure vessels and pipes in mechanical and nuclear engineering, storage tanks and platform components in marine and offshore engineering, the car bodies in the automobile industry, planes, rockets and space structures in aeronautical engineering, to mention only a few examples of the broad spectrum of application. In addition there is the large applied mechanics group involved in all the computational and experimental work in this area. Thin shells are in a way optimal structures. They play the role of·the "primadonnas" among all kinds of structures. Their performance can be extraordinary, but they can also be very sensitive. The susceptibility to buckling is a typical example. David Bushnell says in his recent review paper entitled "Buckling of Shells - Pitfall for DeSigners": "To the layman buckling is a mysterious, perhaps even awe inspiring phenomenon that transforms objects originally imbued with symmetrical beauty into junk".

These analyses are used to study one well characterized stringer-stiffened cylindrical shell. The ability of each analysis to predict the actual experimental buckling load is examined. In addition, the information obtained from each analysis is used when proceeding to a higher level of analysis complexity. Based upon this study, a procedure for calculating a "knockdown" factor is proposed, to replace the traditional empirical knockdown factor."
