Abstract

Theoretical and experimental studies of the free vibrations and the loss of stability of thick-walled cylindrical and spherical shells subjected to external pressure are presented. General equations for the oscillations of the shell under pressure are formulated on the basis of a rigorous theory of finite elasticity. Loss of stability is determined when the fundamental natural frequency of the prestressed shell ceases to be real-valued. Numerical solutions are obtained by solving the specialized equations that are applicable to neo-Hookean materials. Experi- ments using specimens made of silicone rubber closely verify the theoretical results.
