TORSIONAL BUCKLING OF AN 1-SECTION RING SUPPORTED ON A CONCENTRIC CIRCLE,
Abstract
Out-of-plane buckling of a uniform circular ring is investigated analytically in the report. The ring is assumed to be supported continuously on a concentric circle and may have distributed elastic restraint against rotation about the support. The particular case which is treated is that of an I-section which is symmetrical about the web but which need not be doubly symmetric, and for which the web lies in the plane of the ring. The ring is assumed to be subjected to a uniformly distributed radial loading in the plane of the unbuckled web which produces hoop compression in the ring. The problem may be of interest in the design and analysis of reinforcing rings for semi-monocoque structures such as might be used for missiles and boosters, fuselages, pressure vessels, and tanks, particularly when subjected to external pressure but also, in certain configurations, when subjected to internal pressure.
