THE INELASTIC BUCKLING OF MACHINED HIGH STRENGTH STEEL HEMISPHERES WITH IDEAL BOUNDARIES.

Abstract

Five structural models consisting of hemispheres bounded by ring-stiffened cylinders designed to provide membrane edge conditions were hydrostatically tested. The models were machined from high strength steel with yield strength of 130,000 psi and were designed to collapse by plastic instability. The experimental collapse pressures obtained are in good agreement with the pressures predicted by the Model Basin empirical inelastic buckling equation. The maximum difference obtained was 6 percent. (Author)
