Shell Stability Handbook, Lars A. Samuelson, Sigge Eggwertz, 1992, ISBN: 185166954X, Pages: 303, Elsevier Applied Science
SUMMARY: The Shell Stability Handbook is a handbook for calculation of the carrying capacity of shell structures with respect to buckling. The aim has been to develop a branch independent handbook which gives conservative estimates of the carrying capacity. The safety factors which should be used in a certain case must be taken from the applicable code for the considered structure, e.g. pressure vessel codes, steel structure codes etc. Initiator behind the handbook is Professor Lars A.Samuelson who already in the seventies during his time at the Aeronautical Research Institute of Sweden felt a strong need for such a handbook. The development of the handbook, which also included substantial research in the field of shell stability, started in 1982. The first Swedish edition was published in 1990.
