STRESSES AND BUCKLING IN THIN DOMES UNDER INTERNAL PRESSURE
Abstract
Review of the state-of-the-art in analysis of the behavior of thin domes under internal pressures, specifically constant thickness torispherical domes, shows that extremely accurate prediction of stresses and critical buckling pressures for carefully machined domes can be achieved. However, forming procedures such as spinning and explosive forming produce domes of such variable quality and erratic, unpredictable behavior that accurate, efficient design is not possible. Thus an important area of study for explosive forming advocates should be development of techniques which permit accurate control and close reproducibility.
