Test equipment suitable for the study of the creep buckling of axially compressed circular cylindrical shells was developed and built. With the aid of this equipment, thirty-one electroformed nickel cylinders of radius-to-thickness ratios ranging from 30.6 to 96.4 were tested at a temperature of 650F. The loading of each specimen was interrupted usually once, and in some cases twice, to permit an exact measurement of the creep deformations produced by the axial compression. Diagrams showing the deformed shapes of eight generators of each specimen are presented at two or three stages of the creep buckling process. Inspection of the figures reveals that specimens of this kind either buckle axisymmetrically, or begin the creep buckling process in a axisymmetric manner but change over to a multilobed pattern in later stages of the deformations.

A review is presented of the fundamental considerations that enter into the calculation of the buckling of plates and shells whose material deforms in consequence of nonlinear creep. Results are given of analyses that have been carried out for flat plates subjected to edge-wise compression and for circular cylindrical shells subjected to uniform axial compression, to a uniform external pressure and to a constant bending moment. The character of the behavior of these structural elements after buckling is also discussed. (Author).
The present theoretical investigation studies the effect of small multilobed initial deviations from the exact shape upon the deformations and the critical time of a thin-walled circular cylindrical shell which was manufactured with initial axisymmetric deformations. To facilitate the analytical work, the actual solid wall of the shell is imagined to be replaced by an equivalent sandwich wall. The general equilibrium equations derived for shallow shells are expressed in terms of the stresses and deviations corresponding to the equivalent sandwich model. The radial displacement as well as the meridional, circumferential and membrane shear stresses are expressed by finite Fourier series for each face of the sandwich model. A closed form solution is found for the multilobed deformation rates and for the critical time as well. A numerical integration of the deformation rates shows, for a given cylinder, that the multilobed creep buckling deformations grow much faster than the axisymmetric. (Modified author abstract).
