Abstract

A theoretical model describing the progressive extensible plastic collapse of thin-wall conical and cylindrical shells is presented. The proposed theory enables the load-deflection curves during axial compression following the deformation history of the shell to be evaluated. The comparison of theoretical curves with experimental ones shows a fair degree of accuracy.
