Deep Buckling of a Thin Oblate Spheroidal Shell under Uniform Normal Pressure.

Abstract

In this paper Eric Reissner's equations for axisymmetrical deformations of thin shells of revolution are specialized to the case of deformation of a thin ellipsoidal shell under uniform normal pressure. The linked pair of non-linear differential equations which results is solved approximately by the Bubnov-Galerkin method, producing the first complete description, including collapse and deep buckling, of an ellipsoidal shell under pressure.
