AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE HYPERCRITICAL STATE OF CYLINDRICAL GLASS-REINFORCED-PLASTIC SHELLS COMPRESSED ALONG THE AXIS,
Abstract
The hypercritical stability of circular, cylindrical shells in axial compression was investigated experimentally using shells made from fiberglass, L = 720 mm, 2R = 322 mm and h approximately 1 mm. The ratio of longitudinal to transverse layers was 1:1 and 1:2. It was found that fiberglass shells can withstand higher radical deformation and hence in this respect, fiberglass shells are more suitable for investigating the post-buckling behavior of the shells. The final conclusion is that fiberglass shells are superior to metal shells for conducting experiments in axial compression with layer radial deformation.
