Feasibility study of shell buckling analysis using the modified structure method / by Gerald A. Cohen and Raphael T. Haftka.

The modified structure method, which is based on Koiter's theory of imperfections, was used to calculate approximate buckling loads of several shells of revolution. The method does not appear to be practical for shells because, in many cases, the prebuckling nonlinearity may be too large to be...
