Experimental Investigation of the Buckling of Clamped Oval Cylindrical Shells under Axial Compression,
Abstract
Elastic buckling under axial compression of finite, oval cylindrical shells with clamped boundaries was investigated experimentally. The determination of the buckling strength was made on a series of oval shells made of Mylar A. The test results indicated that the discrepancy between theoretical and experimental initial buckling loads for the ovals is similar to that of the circular cylindrical shells. However, in contrast to the circular case, a collapse load significantly exceeding the initial buckling load is observed in the case of ovals with moderate-to-large eccentricity. (Author)
