Research Note: Limit Loads of Cylindrical Shells under Band Pressures

Abstract

The purpose of this brief note is to point out that a numerical approach to the limit analysis of discontinuously-loaded cylindrical shells is simple and appears to be useful for designers and engineers. In particular, we illustrate the numerical method by solving the title problem.
