Plastic postbuckling behaviour of axially compressed cylindrical shells

Theoretical analysis is presented to investigate the plastic post-buckling behaviour of a thin cylindrical shell restrained by a central mandrel under axial compressive loading. Axisymmetric bulges are formed. Work-hardening is neglected. The Tresca sandwich-shell yield condition is used, and it is...
