Critical Pressure – Axial Compression = correlation factor to account for difference between classical theory and predicted instability loads E = Young’s modulus t = thickness α = semivertex angle of cone ν = Poisson’s ratio Slide by: Jessica Schoenbauer Structures Group
Critical Moment - Bending = correlation factor to account for difference between classical theory and predicted instability loads E = Young’s modulus t = thickness r1 = radius of small end of cone α = semivertex angle of cone ν = Poisson’s ratio Slide by: Jessica Schoenbauer Structures Group
