Cylindrical shell — axial buckling
BucklingIn developmentClassical axial buckling stress of a thin cylinder
- Source:
- Timoshenko & Gere / NASA SP-8007
- Tolerance:
- 5%
Problem statement
- Geometry
- Thin circular cylindrical shell, radius R, wall thickness t.
- Material
- Linear-elastic isotropic material, E and ν = 0.3.
- Boundary conditions
- Uniform axial compression.
- Measured quantity
- Classical σcr = E/√(3(1−ν²))·(t/R) ≈ 0.605·E·t/R; real shells knock down via the imperfection factor (SP-8007).
