Buckling of Thin Metal Structures
Preface
Thin-shell structures are widely used in many branches of engineering. Examples
include aircraft, spacecraft, rockets, submarines, nuclear reactors, cooling towers,
roofs, tubular towers, silos, tanks, pressure vessels, pipelines and offshore platforms.
The aim of this book is to provide a state-of-the-art summary of existing
knowledge of the buckling behaviour of thin metal shells for which failure by buckling
is often the controlling design criterion. Due to the complexity and diversity
of the buckling phenomena of thin metal shells, no book of a similar nature has
been published for almost two decades.
