The use of models in structural testing.The design, construction and instrumentation of plastic model shells used in elastic stability studies is discussed. The work demonstrates that specimens made of such materials are of great value in parametric studies because of their ease of manufacture and the simplicity of modification. Additionally, it is shown that they are most useful in the development of nondestructive test techniques. The paper indicates how deformation measurements made at low load levels can be used to accurately predict critical conditions.
