27、ryIn Part 1 of this Handbook (ref. l) the buckling of flat plates wasreviewed. The close correlation of experimental data on the elastic andplastic buckling of flat plates under various types of loadings andboundary conditions confirms the use of classical linear stability conceptsin such problems.

28、Furthermore, it suggests that small initial imperfec-tions unavoidably present in practical structural elements are unimpor-tant from an engineering standpoint.In investigating the elastic buckling of thin-wall circular cylinders,curved plates, and thin-wall spheres, classical stability theory has b

29、eenused also. In general, however, the close correlation between theory andtest data observed for flat plates is not obtained for curved elements.The amount of agreement varies and depends upon the type of loading andthe geometric parameters of the c_rved element.The most complete test data are avai

30、lable for cylinders. These datawere reviewed by Batdorf (ref. 3) and were compared with a simplifiedlinear buckling analysis based on the use of Donnells equations. This _set of equations as well as others are discussed in the section entitled“Stability Theory of Curved Elements. “ For the purposes

31、here, it willsuffice to compare the results of the simplified analysis with availabletest data.Representative elastic-buckling data for cylinders under axial com-pression, torsion, and lateral pressure are shown in figure i. It canbe observed that for compressive loading the best test data at failur

32、eare approximately one-half of the theoretical buckling values with somedata as low as i0 percent of theory.Furthermore, the scatter in the data is large, even on the logarithmicplots on which the results are shown because of the large numerical rangeof the parameters. Other test data on elastic buc

33、kling of curved platesunder axial compression, spheres under hydrostatic pressure, and cylindersunder bending all behave in the characteristic manner of axially compres-sed cylinders.For torsion loads the test data on failure of the cylinders are inconsiderably better agreement with buckling theory

34、than are those forcompression. Here too, however, the test data are consistently belowthe theoretical values. In the case of buckling under lateral pressure,the relatively small amount of test data is in good agreement with theory.The particularly poor agreement between linear theory and tests forax

35、ially compressed curved elements has motivated considerable theoreticalProvided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-NACA TN 3783 9investigation to determine the cause of such behavior. Some investi-gators have maintained that such elements are par

36、ticularly sensitive toinitial imperfections which lead to premature failure. Others haveabandoned classical buckling concepts. By use of large-deflection theoryin conjunction with deflection functions corresponding to the experi-mentally observed dismond pattern, it was found that neighboring large-

37、deflection equilibrium configurations exist at loads less than those ofthe linear theory. It has been suggested that the small amount of energyrequired to trigger the jump to the neighboring equilibrium configura-tions can be supplied by small vibrations in the testing machine. Thus,the compressed c

38、ylinder cannot reach the classical load and fails at afraction of this value.These approaches are discussed at some length in the sections“Stability Theory of Curved Elements“ and “Circular Cylinders UnderAxial Compression.“ At this point, however, it seems important to inquirefor the reasons for th

39、e apparent failure of linear theory for compressivebuckling of curved elements. In this case, large-deflection theory mustbe introduced, whereas for torsional buckling linear theory providesreasonable agreement with test data and for cylinders under lateral pres-sure good agreement is obtained.Postb

40、uckling BehaviorSome explanation on physical grounds is required to indicate whenlarge-deflection effects may assume importance in particular bucklingproblems. For such an explanation, it is logical to consider the post-buckling behavior of various elements, since this is the region of largedeflecti

41、ons.A schematic representation of the postbuckling behavior of axiallycompressed colunuis, flat plates, aud cylinders is shown in figure 2 forboth theoretically perfect elements and those containing initial imper-fections. It is assumed that all elements behave elastically.For the perfect column, th

42、e postbuckling behavior is essentiallyhorizontal in the range of Wave depth/Shell thickness values consid-ered here (elastic effects are negligible) and buckling can follow eitherthe right branch (0, i, A+) or the left (0, i, A-). The horizontalbehavior can be attributed to the fact that, after buck

43、ling, no signifi-cant transverse-tension membrane stresses are developed to restrain thelateral motion and, therefore, the column is free to deflect laterallyunder the critical load.The flat plate, however, does develop significant transverse-tensionmembrane stresses after buckling because of the re

44、straint provided by theboundary conditions at the unloaded edges. These membrane stresses actProvided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-i0 NACA TN 3783to restrain lateral motion and thus the flat plate is capable of carryingloads beyond buckling

45、 as indicated by the approximately parabolic char-acter of the stress-deflection plot of figure 2. The flat plate alsocan follow either the right branch (0, i, h+) or the left (0, i B-).For the axially compressed curved plate, the effect of the curvatureis to translate the flat-plate postbucklingpar

46、abola downward and towardthe right, depending upon a width-radius parameter. For the completelong cylinder a considerable translation occurs. Note that by shiftingthe parabola to the right buckling would tend to follow the right branchonly (0, i, C) because of the lower loads involved, with the resu

47、lt thatthe inward type of buckling is observed for curved plates and cylinders.This inward buckling causes superimposed transverse membrane stressesof a compressive nature so that the buckle form itself is unstable.As a consequence of the compressive membrane stresses 3 buckling ofan axially compres
