Cylindrical shell structures are widely employed across engineering sectors such as aerospace, marine, and civil construction, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratios and efficiency in material ...

A study is presented of the post-buckling behaviour and imperfection sensitivity of complete spherical shells subject to uniform external pressure. The study builds on and extends the major ...

Buckling in shell structures, encompassing both spherical and cylindrical forms, remains a central focus in structural mechanics due to its implications in civil engineering, aerospace, soft robotics ...

Roberto Ballarini, University of Houston Thomas and Laura Hsu Professor and department chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is leading the effort to predict the detrimental effects of ...

(Nanowerk News) Buckling, the sudden loss of structural stability, is usually the stuff of engineering nightmares. Mechanical buckling means catastrophic failure for every structural system from ...
