Cylindrical shell buckling under axial load
Calculates energy barrier and post-buckling deflection depending on external pressure parameter, estimates knock down factor for design buckling load.
Input:
Radius of sphere R >0:
Length of the shell L >0:
Poisson's ratio of the material 0≤ ν ≤0.5:
Shell thickness h >0:
Select type of loading k:
Number of buckles n ≤6:
