A Numerical Approach to the Instability Problem of Monocoque Cylinders
Abstract
Two closely related numerical methods which employ operations tables have been developed and used in the calculation of the buckling load of a monocoque cylinder subjected to pure bending. They are based on the assumption of a simplified structure which includes only the most highly compressed portion of the cylinder. The first method makes use of a 10-row determinant, whereas the second method requires the solution of a single 10-row determinant. The buckling loads of three cylinders with widely different characteristics were calculated by these methods. Reasonable agreement with experiment was obtained. A procedure similar to the first method was developed for the calculation of the buckling load of a cylinder with a cutout. A limited experimental check was obtained.
