The literature concerning the buckling of plates and shells is now very extensive, but fortunately a comprehensive bibliography is available. Moreover in this reference and elsewhere most of the chief conclusions of both theoretical and experimental investigations have been epitomized in forms suitable for use in practical design. There remains however a need for a complete review of the subject particularly in its theoretical aspects. In the present survey an attempt is made to present the elements of the theory and to demonstrate the relationship between the several methods of analysis; but the exposition is restricted to fairly simple applications, in which the mathematical analysis can be followed in detail. This manner of approach is adopted in order that the whole may be more easily readable. . .
