Abstract:The developability of thin circular cylindrical shells of infinite length leads to the postbuckling modes described by Yoshimura for shells under axial compression. Yamaki et al. calculated and measured experimentally the postbuckling modes of a cylindrical shell of finite length under axial compression. However, they did not calculate the buckling mode of the cylinder. To clarify the entire process of mode changes during buckling and postbuckling, an axial buckling mode is calculated and drawn for the cylinde… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
