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).
This volume contains the written texts of the papers presented at a Symposium on Buckling of Structures held at Harvard University in June 1974. This symposium, one of several on various topics sponsored annually by the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Me chanics (IUTAM), was organized by a Scientific Committee consisting of B. Budiansky (Chairman), A. H. Chilver, W. T. Koiter, and A. S. Vol' mir. Participation was by invitation of the Scientific Committee, and specific lecturers were invited to speak in the areas of experimental research, buckling and post-buckling calculations, post-buckling mode interaction, plasticity and creep effects, dynamic buckling, stochastic problems, and design. A total of 29 lectures were delivered, including a general opening lecture by Professor Koiter, and there were 93 reg istered participants from 16 different countries. Financial support for the symposium was provided by IUTAM, in the form of partial travel support for a number of participants, and also by the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Re search, for additional travel support and administrative expenses. Meeting facilities and services were efficiently provided by the Science Center of Harvard University, and administrative support was gen erously provided by the Division of Engineering and Applied Physics of Harvard University. The scientific chairman enjoyed the invaluable assistance of his colleagues Professors J. W. Hutchinson and J. L.
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).
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.

This book contains eight chapters treating the stability of all major areas of the flexural theory. It covers the stability of structures under mechanical and thermal loads and all areas of structural, loading and material types. The structural element may be assumed to be made of a homogeneous/isotropic material, or of a functionally graded material. Structures may experience the bifurcation phenomenon, or they may follow the postbuckling path. This volume explains all these aspects in detail. The book is self-contained and the necessary mathematical concepts and numerical methods are presented in such a way that the reader may easily follow the topics based on these basic tools. It is intended for people working or interested in areas of structural stability under mechanical and/or thermal loads. Some basic knowledge in classical mechanics and theory of elasticity is required.
