CREEP BUCKLING OF CYLINDRICAL SHELLS SUBJECTED TO UNIFORM AXIAL COMPRESSION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4205013

The axially symmetric creep buckling of a circular cylindrical shell is investigated. A sandwich shell analogy and a biaxial creep law are used in the analysis. Two simultaneous, nonlinear differential equations are found to govern the stress distribution in and the displacement of the cylinder. A numerical example using these equations is carried out, and rhe results are presented in the form of curves. (auth)
