Abstract
The paper presents a theoretical and an experimental investigation
on three varying thickness circular cylinders, which were tested to
destruction under external hydrostatic pressure. The four buckling
theories that were presented were based on inelastic shell
instability and plastic knockdown factors. Two of these inelastic
buckling theories adopted the finite element method and the other
two theories were based on a modified version of the much
simpler von Mises theory. Comparison between experiment and
theory showed that one of the inelastic buckling theories that was
based on the von Mises buckling pressure gave very good results
while the finite element solutions which adopted experimentally
obtained plastic knockdown factors were rather poor in predicting
the observed buckling pressures.
Electrical resistance strain gauges were used to monitor the collapse mechanisms and these revealed that collapse occurred in the regions of the highest values of hoop stress. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
