Buckling and post-buckling of cylindrical shells under combined torsional and axial loads
Main content start
In this paper, based on a combination of experiments, theoretical modeling, and finite element simulations, we systematically investigate the buckling and post-buckling behavior of cylindrical shells under combined torsional and axial loads. Three different types of combined loads are considered: compression with pre-torsion, torsion with pre-tension, and torsion with pre-compression.
