From Wrinkles to Creases in Elastomers: The Instability and Imperfection-Sensitivity of Wrinkling
(The Royal Society, 2012)The stability of the wrinkling mode experienced by a compressed half-space of neo-Hookean material is investigated using analytical and numerical methods to study the post-bifurcation behaviour of periodic solutions. It ... -
Knockdown Factors for Buckling of Cylindrical and Spherical Shells Subject to Reduced Biaxial Membrane Stress
(Elsevier, 2010)Cylindrical shells under uniaxial compression and spherical shells under equi-biaxial compression display the most extreme buckling sensitivity to imperfections. In engineering practice, the reduction of load carrying ...
