The problem of creep induced instability in structures is discussed. A linearization procedure proposed by Onat and Wang (Creep in Structures, Springer-Verlag, 1962, p. 125) and generalized by Carlson (Recent Progress in Applied Mechanics - The Folke Odgvist Volume, Almqvist and Wiksell, Gebers, Stockholm, 1966) is applied to the problem of the creep buckling of circular cylindrical shells under uniform, axial compression. Solutions for axisymmetric creep buckling of semi-infinite and infinite cylinders are obtained and a comparison with experimental data is made. In accordance with expectations based on the criterion for instability, the theoretically predicted critical times are smaller than the experimentally observed critical times.
Experimental results obtained with 31 nickel circular cylindrical shell specimens are evaluated in the light of the theory. The test results have already been reported in SUDAAR No. 415. The experimental creep buckling times obtained in axial compression at a temperature of 650F were found to be in reasonable agreement with the theoretical formulas. (Author).
The use of electroforming to produce circular cylindrical shells is described. Examples are cited for which the use of electroforming provides opportunities for the development of unique specimen designs and test procedures. The use of a tapered creep specimen to generate isochronous stress-strain curves is described. The procedure developed provides a method for deriving basic creep relationships form data obtained from a small number of tests. The results of creep buckling tests on circular cylindrical shells under axial compression are presented. The basic features described are the end-shortening history, the variation of buckling load with time, and the post-buckling pattern which is developed. (Author).

This report describes the work performed by Lockheed Palo Alto Research Labora tory, Palo Alto, California 94304. The work was sponsored by Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Bolling AFB, Washington, D. C. under Grant F49620-77-C-0l22 and by the Flight Dynamics Laboratory, Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio under Contract F3361S-76-C-31OS. The work was completed under Task 2307Nl, "Basic Research in Behavior of Metallic and Composite Components of Airframe Structures". The work was admini stered by Lt. Col. J. D. Morgan (AFOSR) and Dr. N. S. Khot (AFWAL/FIBRA). The contract work was performed between October 1977 and December 1980. The technical report was released by the Author in December 1981. Preface Many structures are assembled from parts which are thin. For example, a stiffened plate or cylindrical panel is composed of a sheet the thickness of which is small com pared to its length, breadth, and stiffener- spacing, and stiffeners the thickness of which is small compared to their _ heights and lengths. These assembled structures, loaded in compression, can buckle overall, that is sheet and stiffeners can collapse together in a general instability mode; the sheet can buckle locally between stiffeners; the stiffeners can cripple; and a variety of complex buckling interactions can occur involving local and overall deformations of both sheet and stiffeners. More complex, built-up structures can buckle in more complex and subtle ways.
