Shell Buckling: The Shell Effect and Imperfection-Sensitivity

Description

This lecture by the instructor covers the fascinating topic of shell buckling, focusing on the shell effect observed in birds' eggs and the imperfection-sensitivity of shells. It delves into the stability of axisymmetric buckling, the behavior of complete spherical shells under pressure, and the efforts to revise the knockdown factor in the US, Europe, and China.
