Shell structures—thin, curved elements such as cylinders, spheres and domes—are prized for their high strength-to-weight ratio but are exceptionally sensitive to buckling instabilities. Even minute ...

Dynamic stability analysis of cylindrical shell structures investigates the conditions under which these curved, slender elements lose their equilibrium under time-dependent loads. Such shells are ...

Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...
