STUDIES IN THE CREEP BUCKLING OF CIRCULAR CYLINDERS AND CONICAL SHELLS.
Abstract
Theoretical and experimental work on the creep collapse of Al circular cylinders of various lengths and end conditions and of Al circular truncated cones of various geometries was continued. These shells were subjected to a uniform external pressure and elevated temperature (300-500 F). The results of tests to determine the creep properties of the Al alloy 6061-T6 are presented. Agreement between theoretical predictions of collapse time and test results varied from fair to good. Generally, the results for the cylinders showed much better agreement than those for the cones.
