The Buckling of Circular Cylindrical Shells Subject to Axial ImpactEarly experimental results on the buckling of circular cylindrical shells subject to axial impact are described. A hypothesis for the mechanism of buckling which was based on these experiments is described. The results of further experiments which were designed to test predictions from the hypothesis and which appear to verify it in several aspects are then described.
