Abstract
The paper describes a theoretical and an experimental investigation into the vibration of thin-walled prolate domes under external hydrostatic pressure. The domes varied in shape from a hemispherical shell to very prolate hemi-ellipsoidal shells and all were constructed in a thermosetting plastic, called solid urethane plastic.
The results showed that it was possible for the domes to buckle dynamically at pressures less than those to cause static buckling. The theoretical analyses were based on the finite element method, for both the dome shell and the surrounding water. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
