Asymptotic methods in the buckling theory of elastic shells / Petr E. Tovstik, Andrei L. Smirnov ; edited by Peter R. Frise, Ardeshir Guran.

This book contains solutions to the most typical problems of thin elastic shells buckling under conservative loads. The linear problems of bifurcation of shell equilibrium are considered using a two-dimensional theory of the Kirchhoff-Love type. The explicit approximate formulas obtained by means of...
