Shell Stability Handbook

This text provides engineering tools for design of shells against buckling. A simplified approach is given in a number of cases which are not addressed in current design codes. Design rules for various types of shell under specified uniform loading conditions and solution methods are given for shells subjected to temperature gradients through the thickness, nonuniform temperature and for creep buckling. Options are discussed and recommendations for buckling analysis of shell structures are given on selecting reduction ... Read More
