An extension of the Donnell and Wan analysis for the buckling of a shell with initial imperfections is presented for a mode of arbitrary profile. Results for a mode with 26 arbitrary parameters are given with charts of the ...
The theoretical estimation of the buckling strength of a cylinder loaded in axial compression is improved by the use of a more representative deflected form for the buckled cylinder than has previously been used. Kempner's ...
A practical procedure for the investigation of the state of stress around an arbitrary doubly-symmetric hole in infinite elastic sheets in tension and shear is presented. The associated problem of conformally mapping an ...
The influence of a uniformly reinforced 'rounded-square' hole on the stress field in an infinite sheet is examined. Stress concentration factors are presented in graphical form for a wide range of corner quadrant radius ...
Comprehensive numerical estimates of the stress concentration around unreinforced rounded rectangular holes in infinite sheets are presented. Both tensile and shear loading are discussed.
