Dynamic Buckling Load of an Imperfect Viscously Damped Spherical Cap Stressed by a Step Load

Analysis of the Dynamic Buckling of a Viscously Damped Spherical Shell Under an Impulse Load

“…(5.5). The procedure as in Ozoigbo et al [9] and Amazigo and Ette [14], is to the reverse the series Eq. (5.5).…”

“…Earlier and pioneering investigations seem to have been led by Budiansky and Roth [1], Budiansky [2], Budiansky and Hutchinson [3] and Hutchinson and Budiansky [4], amongst others. Mention must be made of other relevant investigations as in Koteiko and Mania [5], Kolakowski [6,7], Rajanna et al [8], Ozoigbo et al [9] and Ette [10,11]. In a similar study, Ozoigbo and Ette [12], in a perturbation approach investigated the dynamic buckling of a prestatically but viscously damped elastic structures while Mcshane et al [13] made a similar investigation on inclined structures.…”
