Because composite material test specimens tend to be relatively thin, buckling prior to the desired failure mode is a concern when specimens are loaded in compression. Known as column buckling, but ...

Cylindrical shells under axial compression have long been a focal topic in structural engineering owing to their high load‐carrying efficiency and sensitivity to geometric imperfections. Contemporary ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
