Resolution of the Twentieth Century Conundrum in Elastic Stability

by Isaac Elishakoff

There have been stability theories developed for beams, plates and shells -- the most significant elements in mechanical, aerospace, ocean and marine engineering. For beams and plates, the theoretical and experimental values of buckling loads are in close vicinity. However for thin shells, the experimental predictions do not conform with the theory, due to presence of small geometric imperfections that are deviations from the ideal shape.This fact...
