Dynamic buckling of shallow spherical caps subjected to a nearly axisymmetric step pressure load.

The behavior of shallow spherical caps subjected to axisymmetric and nearly axisymmetric step pressure loads is examined using a digital computer program for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of arbitrarily loaded shells of revolution. A criterion for dynamic buckling under the nearly axisymmetri...
