Cylindrical shell structures are widely employed across engineering sectors such as aerospace, marine, and civil construction, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratios and efficiency in material ...

Buckling in shell structures, encompassing both spherical and cylindrical forms, remains a central focus in structural mechanics due to its implications in civil engineering, aerospace, soft robotics ...

A study is presented of the post-buckling behaviour and imperfection sensitivity of complete spherical shells subject to uniform external pressure. The study builds on and extends the major ...
