Dynamic Buckling of Cylindrical Shells Under Axial Impact

  • Chapter
Dynamic Pulse Buckling

Part of the book series: Mechanics of Elastic Stability ((MEST,volume 12))

Abstract

A great deal of work has been done on buckling of cylindrical shells under dynamic axial loads. The motivation for much of this work stems from the design of missiles to sustain the sudden application of thrust from rocket engine ignition. The thrust-time history is idealized as a step or a linear ramp increase to a constant operating thrust. The concern is that the dynamic buckling load may be smaller than the buckling load for a slowly applied thrust. Other applications occur in transportation accidents, where the loading is from impact and often exceeds the static buckling load.
