TESTS OF MACHINED DEEP SPHERICAL SHELLS UNDER EXTERNAL HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

Abstract

Twenty-six structural models, consisting of hemispherical shells bound by ring-stiffened cylinders designed to provide ideal edge conditions, were machined from two aluminum alloys and collapsed under hydrostatic pressure. The models were designed to investigate both elastic and inelastic failures. .
