Abstract

Various shell buckling problems have been studied in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Liverpool over the past decade. The background to these problems, and the work carried out on them at Liverpool, is discussed briefly in this paper. The shell types which have been investigated are doubly-curved shells (torispheres and hemispheres) and cylinders (mainly unstiffened but some with ring stiffeners). The principal applied loading has been uniform pressure (internal or external) but transverse edge shear and axial compression loads on cylinders have also been studied.
