Zb. Wang et al., POSTBUCKLING BEHAVIOR OF WINDOWS SUBJECTED TO SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION X-RAYS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 347(1-3), 1994, pp. 627-630
To fully understand the behavior of windows after buckling so as to pr
ecisely predict failure, this paper first reviews test data and then e
xamines the postbuckling behavior of thin-shell structures under therm
al or mechanical load. The paper presents postbuckling analyses of ber
yllium windows subjected to X-ray thermal loads and investigates the p
ossibility of incorporating elastic buckling into window designs.
