LOW BUCKLING STRESSES OF AXIALLY COMPRESSED CIRCULAR CYLINDRICAL SHELLS OF FINITE LENGTH,
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 edges are assumed as the vanishing of (1) the radial displacement; (2) of the longitudinal bending moment; (3) of the variation in the axial normal stress, and (4) of the circumferential membrane shear stress. Under these conditions of simple support the critical value of the uniformly distributed axial normal stress is one-half the classical critical value. (Author)
