Axially compressed rocket interstage analyzed with BOSOR5

This is Fig 4 from the 1986 BOSOR5 user's manual paper. This slide shows a complex rocket interstage subjected to axial compression during launch. A stability problem arises from the eccentricity of the axial load path at Station MS 176. Axisymmetric pre-buckling defomations are shown in the next slide.
