Abstract
Abstract : The paper presents an analysis of stresses and deflections produced in a thin, complete spherical shell when it is compressed between two parallel rigid plates. The analysis accounts for finite deflections and rotations, but assumes that the material remains linearly elastic throughout the deformation. It is also assumed that the region of the shell which is in contact with the plate remains flat. The deformation state at which the contact region buckles is given. (Author)

Crushing analysis of rotationally symmetric plastic shells

TL;DR: In this article, a general methodology is developed and simple closed-form solutions are derived for the case of a conical shell, a spherical shell under point load and a spherical cap under external uniform pressure.

A theoretical and experimental study of hemispherical shells subjected to axial loads between flat plates

TL;DR: In this article, the quasi-static loading of an open hemispherical shell along its axis of symmetry through a rigid flat plate is considered with particular reference to large deformations and buckling.

A dynamic contact buckling analysis by the penalty finite element method

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of the finite element method to dynamic contact buckling problems is discussed, where the penalty function method is applied to incorporate the contact conditions in the equation of motion and a trial-and-error method is employed to obtain the converged contact state.

Localization of deformation in thin shells under indentation

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid experimental and numerical study of the localization of deformation in thin spherical elastic shells under indentation is performed, where the authors quantify how the formation and evolution of s-cones is affected by the indenter's curvature.
