J.G.A. Croll writes in his 2015 paper, “Lower Bound Buckling Loads for Design of Laminate Composite Cylinders” by James G.A. Croll and Hongtao Wang, 3rd Int. Conference on Buckling and Postbuckling Behaviour of Composite Laminated Shell Structures:
“We would also like to record our very sincere indebtedness to Professor Seishi Yamada whose work has been seminal in validating the RSM [Reduced Stiffness Method]. It is a tragedy that with his death last year we have lost a colleague who has made such a major contribution to our understanding of shell buckling.”
