Spherical shell buckling under pressure
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:
Rise of the cap 0< H ≤R:
Poisson's ratio of the material 0≤ ν ≤0.5:
Shell thickness h >0:
