Cylindrical shell buckling: a characterization of localization and periodicity
G Hunt, G J Lord and M Peletier
Abstract
A hypothesis for the prediction of the circumferential wavenumber of buckling of
the thin axially-compressed cylindrical shell is presented, based on the addition
of a length effect to the classical (Koiter circle) critical load result. Checks
against physical and numerical experiments, both by direct comparison of
wavenumbers and via a scaling law, provide strong evidence that the hypothesis
is correct.
