AXISYMMETRIC BUCKLING OF A SPHERICAL SHELL EMBEDDED IN AN ELASTIC MEDIUM UNDER UNIAXIAL STRESS AT INFINITY

The problem of a thin spherical linearly elastic shell perfectly bonded to an infinite linearly elastic medium is considered. A constant axisymmetric stress field is applied at infinity in the matrix, and the displacement and stress fields in the shell and matrix are evaluated by means of harmonic p...
