Non-axisymmetric Local Stability Loss of a Hollow Cylinder

The book presents formulations and examples of three-dimensional non-axisymmetric stability in viscoelastic anisotropic cylindrical shells. The most critical stability loss modes are determined by minimizing the critical loads and critical times with respect to the number of half-waves in radial as well as transverse directions.

Currently, there is no literature available on three-dimensional local...
