Abstract

When a cylindrical shell is subjected to dynamic implusive loading in radial direction and the ratio of radius-to-thickness exceeds a special value, the cylindrical shell will produce elastic dynamic buckling. This paper which is based on the results of some relative experiments, assumes deformation mode and utilizes Lagrange method to analyse the elastic pluse buckling of a thin cylindrical shell with a finite length under a cosine impulse. The dynamic buckling equations are derived and solved by numerical method. The results of calculation are compared with some relative calculation results which were obtained by other authors.
