Abstract
Using a cylindrical shell under axial loading as an example, we discuss the possibility of applying the membrane theory together with the boundary layer correction to analyze the large deflection plastic buckling problem. In the cases of fixed ends and simply-supported ends, the conditions to be satisfied for using the boundary layer method (also called the composite-expansion method) are given and discussed.
