Some Shell Stability Problems in Missile and Space Vehicle AnalysisA brief discussion is presented of three structural shell stability studies in progress at Lockheed Missiles & Space Company: the stabilizing influence of solid propellants, the effect of cushion stiffness on buckling under cushion loading, and the snap-through buckling of axially loaded cylinders. Recent analytical results are compared with test data. Also included is a brief description of a few shell stability problems of present interest to LMSC for which satisfactory methods of analysis are not available.
