First buckling mode (bifurcation point on the nonlinear prebuckling equilibrium curve) of the imperfect dome in the top image in the first slide of this group of 4 slides.

The buckling modal displacements, concentrated near the apex of the dome, correspond essentially to n = 1 circumferential wave.

From the same paper as the previous 3 images.
