Book Description
A theory for thermal buckling of an orthotropic, multilayered, stiffened cylindrical shell is presented. The theory includes the effects of eccentricity of layers and stiffening, and deformations prior to buckling. It is sufficiently general to account for discrete rings and averaged properties of longitudinal stiffening, as well as arbitrary temperature distributions through the thickness of the shell and depth of the stiffeners. Two computer programs are described corresponding to solutions for buckling obtained by using finite differences and determinant plotting or modal iteration. Computed results for thermal buckling of unstiffened and ring-stiffened shells are presented and are in reasonable agreement with published results. The interaction of thermal loading and axial compression in two large diameter stiffened shells representative of a launch vehicle interstage and a preliminary supersonic transport fuselage design is investigated. Results indicate that budding can occur in both structures at a realistic temperature under thermal loading alone.

Book Description
Thin-walled metal shell structures are highly efficient in their use of material, but they are particularly sensitive to failure by buckiling. Many different forms of buckling can occur for different geometries and different loading conditions. Because this field of knowledge is both complex and industrially important, it is of great interest and concern in a wide range of industries. This book presents a compilation and synthesis of a wealth of research, experience and knowledge of the subject. Information that was previously widely scattered throughout the literature is assembled in a concise and convenient form that is easy to understand, and state-of-the-art research findings are thoroughly examined. This book is useful for those involved in the structural design of silos, tanks, pipelines, biodigestors, chimneys, towers, offshore platforms, aircraft and spacecraft. Buckling of Thin Metal Shells is essential reading for designers, researchers and code writers involved with thin-walled metal shell structures.

Book Description
Shell structures are used in all phases of structures, from space vehicles to deep submergence hulls, from nuclear reactors to domes on sport arenas and civic buildings. With new materials and manufacturing methods, curved thin walled structures are being used increasingly. This text is a graduate course in the theory of shells. It covers shells of isotropic materials, such as metal alloys and plastics, and shells of composite materials, such as fibre reinforced polymer, metal or ceramic matrix materials. It provides the essential information for an understanding of the underlying theory, and solution of some of the basic problems. It also provides a basis to study the voluminous shell literature. Beyond being primarily a textbook, it is intended also for self study by practising engineers who would like to learn more about the behaviour of shells. The book has two parts: Part I deals with shells of isotropic materials. In this part the mathematical formulations are introduced involving curvilinear coordinates. The techniques of solutions and resulting behavior is compared to planar thin walled isotropic structures such as plates and beams. Part II then treats the behavior of shells, involving anisotropic composite materials, so widely used today. The analysis involves the complications due to the many elastic constants, effects of transverse shear deformation, thermal thickening and offer effects arising from the properties of composite materials.
