Ky. Yeh et al., MATHEMATICAL TREATMENT OF STABILITY PROBLEMS FOR THIN SHALLOW ELASTICSHELLS OF REVOLUTION, International journal of non-linear mechanics, 29(4), 1994, pp. 587-601
This paper presents a review of investigations on non-linear stabiliti
es of thin shallow elastic shells of revolution, beginning with von Ka
rman's original 1910 paper on the subject. Altogether 83 papers were r
eviewed. The theoretical foundations and the new methods and new conce
pts that were introduced over the years are discussed. Most of the wor
k is not well known outside the People's Republic of China.
