THE EFFECT OF AXIAL CONSTRAINT ON THE INSTABILITY OF THIN CONICAL SHELLS UNDER EXTERNAL PRESSURE,

Abstract

The effect of axial elastic restraint in the direction of the generators on the instability of a thin circular conical shell under hydrostatic pressure, or under uniform lateral pressure, is analysed by a Rayleigh Ritz approach. For the case of hydrostatic pressure, the effect is calculated for wide range of parameters and design curves are presented for the percentage increase in critical pressure. (Author)
