Axisymmetric pre-buckling behavior of the externally pressurized, ring-stiffened, football-shaped shell shown two slides ago

This is Fig. 77 from the 1982 decade paper. This slide shows axisymmetric pre-buckling deflections of half of the football-shaped shell with increasing external pressure:

(a) The effect of weld cool-down is included in the BOSOR5 analysis.

(b) the axisymmetric deformation at external pressure, p = 4100 psi, predicted with and without the effect of weld cool-down.

The configuration of the ring-stiffened shell is shown two slides ago.
