The buckling instability of cylindrical shells under axial compression has been one of the most renowned problems in structural engineering for several decades. Many pioneering works in the 20th centu
Abstract The current paper presents a brief survey of literature relevant to buckling of cone-cylinder intersection under different loads such as (i) internal pressure, (ii) external pressure, and (ii
Symmetry plays an integral role in the post-buckling analysis of elastic structures. We show that the post-buckling response of engineering systems with given symmetry properties can be described usin
This paper considers the case of a relatively large number of parallel columns that buckle simultaneously. The close proximity between columns results in the possibility of contact between adjacent co
