Thin-walled shells like cylinders, cones and spheres are primary structures in launch-vehicle systems. When subjected to axial loading, bending or external pressure, these thin-walled shells are prone to buckling. The corresponding critical load heav

The past few decades have witnessed a rapid increase in the role of the architect in the design of the once sacrosanct area of engineering – bridge design. Reasons for this relative decline in the engineer's role are many and varied, but must inclu

The buckling of thin FRP laminated shells are sensitive to initial geometric imperfections. A large number of geometric and material variables prohibit the traditional experiment-based lower-bound design method for metallic shells from being extended

The imperfection-sensitive buckling of fiber-reinforced polymeric laminated shells is complicated by the large number of additional material and geometric parameters compared to the buckling of conventional metallic shells. As a basis for conceptual

The Reduced Stiffness Analysis (RSA) to compute lower bounds to buckling loads of shells has been employed by a number of researchers as a simple way to evaluate the buckling capacity of shells that display unstable behavior and imperfection-sensitiv

Although recognised as contributing to certain forms of crack development in asphalt, thermal effects are rarely seen as the primary cause of perhaps the most prevalent forms of crack pattern. This technical note will argue that far from just contrib

Solid objects lying on slopes for which gravity alone would be insufficient to overcome frictional resistance have long been known to experience downslope motions when subject to alternations in temperature. This paper will suggest that similar motio

Asphalt layers used to provide smooth, compliant, surfaces on pavements often experience the growth of small uplift blisters. Conventional wisdom has it that these blisters are the result of a build-up of either volatile gases or water vapour beneath

This paper reports on the implementation of a lower bound approach to the buckling analysis of cylindrical shells for tanks subjected to wind loads. The formulation is based on a reduced energy model of the shell adapted to a special purpose, semi-an
