Elasto-plastic stability of circular cylindrical shells subjected to axial load, varying as a power function of time
A. H. Sofiyev, E. Schnack and F. Demir

 
Abstract
    Stability of a cylindrical shell subject to a uniform axial compression, which is a power function of time, is examined within the framework of small strain elasto-plasticity. The material of the shell is incompressible and the effect of the elastic unloading is considered. Initially, employing the infinitesimal elastic-plastic deformation theory, the fundamental relations and Donnell type stability equations for a cylindrical shell have been obtained. Then, employing Galerkin
