LARGE DEFLECTION AND BUCKLING ANALYSIS OF CIRCULAR CYLINDRICAL SHELLS. Paper 4 of GENERAL RESEARCH IN FLIGHT SCIENCES, JANUARY 1959-JANUARY 1960. VOLUME II. MECHANICS OF DEFORMABLE BODIES

OSTI ID:4163524

A variational procedure is used to derive equilibrium equations for the infinitesimal buckling of circular cylindrical shells. The nonlinear strain- displacement relations are based on a theory by Novozhilov for moderatelylarge shell deformations. It is shown that, for a large number of circumferential waves in an harmonic analysis of the displacement components, these relations reduce to those used by von Karman and Tsien in their largedeflection analysis of the axially-loaded cylinder. It is also shown that the nonlinear strain-energy expression used by von Karman and Tsien is also the strain-energy expression underlying the Donnell equations for infinitesinal buckling. (auth)
