Numerical and Experimental Buckling and Post-Buckling Analyses of Sphere-Segmented Toroidal Shell Subject to External Pressure
This study determined the buckling characteristics of sphere-segmented toroidal shells subjected to external pressure. The proposed toroidal vessel comprises six spheres and six rings. Two laboratory models with the same nominal dimensions were manufactured, measured, tested, and evaluated. To inves...
