Buckling of isotropic and orthotropic cylinders under induced moments Pages 191

The buckling of isotropic and composite cylinders due to induced moments was investigated. The cylinder wall may be of solid or of sandwich construction. Expressions were derived for the critical buckling moment. Numerical examples for aluminum and glass-epoxy composite cylinders are presented which show that induced moments are unlikely to result in buckling of cylinders under conditions which may arise in practice. 0 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
