Abstract text:
The problem of dynamic stability is substantially more complex than the buckling analysis of a shell subjected to static loads. The fundamental aim of this paper is to present criteria for determining the critical load of dynamic buckling of thin shell. Another purpose of establishing such criteria is to guide engineers scientists and researchers dealing with such problems, for a better comparison verification and a validation of their experimental or numerical results. To illustrate the application of these criteria, two examples have been studied.
Key Words:
dynamic instability; critical buckling load; thin shells; numerical methods.
