HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - NASA engineers improvised in Huntsville on Wednesday when their carefully planned - and televised - "can crush" experiment didn't crush a rocket shell as expected. But improvise ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The axisymmetric buckling of a spherical shell embedded in an elastic medium with uniaxial compression at infinity is examined in the limit of ...

NASA completed a series of high-tech can-crushing tests last week as an enormous fuel tank crumbled under the pressure of almost a million pounds of force, all in the name of building lighter, more ...

The study of buckling behavior and strength analysis in pressure vessels and shell structures is fundamental to ensuring the safety and operational reliability of critical engineering systems.
