Excerpt from Non-Linear Deflections of Shallow Spherical Shells
Consider a thin, hollow sphere of wall thickness 2b and mean radius R loaded by a uniform external pressure p directed towards the center. It is observed experimentally that as the pressure increases from zero, the shell apparently deforms by contracting into a smaller sphere. This mode of deformation continues until some critical value of the pressure is reached. At this value the shell suddenly jumps, or buckles into a non-spher ical buckled state consisting of a round, rotationally symmetric, inward dimple of small solid angle at some point on the surface of the shell, while the remainder of the shell remains apparently spherical.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an expert on the subject, delves into the intricate relationship between the external pressures that act upon shallow spherical shells and the resulting buckling and deformation that occurs. Significant to various engineering and architectural applications, this book utilizes power series expansion techniques along with computational methods to solve the nonlinear equations that govern such phenomena. Expanding upon the legacy of prior research on the subject, the author provides a comprehensive overview of both the underlying theory and its practical implications. Through meticulous analysis, the book elucidates the complex interplay between the shell's geometry, material properties, and the applied pressure, offering valuable insights into the intricate mechanics of structural stability.
