The Geometric Role of Precisely Engineered Imperfections on the Critical Buckling Load of Spherical Elastic Shells
We study the effect of a dimplelike geometric imperfection on the critical buckling load of spherical elastic shells under pressure loading. This investigation combines precision experiments, finite element modeling, and numerical solutions of a reduced shell theory, all of which are found to be in...
