Erratum for “Postbuckling Behavior of Thin Cylinders”

BEM of postbuckling analysis of thin plates

A new fundamental solution of deflection for plate buckling problems is first derived through the separation of in-plane stresses into an essential part and a disturbed part and by use of the resolution theorem of differential operator. A set of new boundary element formulas for the analysis of postbuckling problems of elastic plates are presented. On the basis of these formulas, in-plane and o...

A General Form Solution for Elastic Buckling of Thin Cylinders Made of FGM under Axial Loading

In this article, the axisymmetric mechanical buckling of thin cylindrical shell made of functionally graded material (FGM) is considered. The governing equations for a thin cylinder based on the first-order shell theory and Timoshenko's assumptions are obtained. The equations are derived using the Sanders simplified kinematic relations and the principle of work and energy. The constituent mater...

Initial Postbuckling Behavior of Shear Deformable Symmetrically Laminated Beams

Abstract-Results for the initial postbuckling behavior of laminated beams are presented. Shear deformation effects are incorporated by relaxing certain assumptions of thin beam/plate theory. The analysis used is in the spirit of Koiter [Doctoral thesis, Delft, Amsterdam, English translation AFFDL-TR-70-25, (1970)], who developed asymptotic expressions for the potential energy in the neighborhoo...

Nonlinear Plate Theory for Postbuckling Behaviour of Thin-Walled Structures Under Static and Dynamic Load

Collective behavior of coupled mesoscopic cylinders

We address the objective of the generation of finite magnetic flux out of unbiased thermal current fluctuations in a collection of identical mesoscopic cylinders which are coupled via mutual inductances. The influence of thermal Nyquist fluctuations are described in terms of a set of Langevin equations or a corresponding Fokker–Planck equation, respectively. In the limit of infinitely many cons...
