Analytical Solution of the Stability Problem for the Truncated Hemispherical Shell under Tensile Loading

Analytical solution of the problem of buckling of truncated hemispherical shell of revolution, subjected to tension loading, is obtained. Assumption of membrane prebuckling state is applied, and the range of applicability of this assumption is estimated. The developed algorithm is based on the asymp...
