Limits of Roark's formula for buckling of shell
Steve. Thanks for that suggestion. Will I find there algebraic equations similar to those I refer to? Or rather a step-by-step process to calculations in order to achieve an ASME-allowed design? (I am more interested in the former at the moment.) Thanks again, mlbtx- mlbtx

Limits of Roark's formula for buckling of shell
Hello, I would like to understand what kind of error results from using Roark's formulas for the buckling of a thin tube when the thickness of the wall, in fact, is larger than the the "1/10 of radius" limit for their validity. Are the predictions obtained conservative (undervalue of crush...- mlbtx
