Abstract

Buckling of an equatorial shallow shell segment under its own weight is reconsidered here from a novel point of view involving singular perturbation techniques. A number of different asymptotic approximations for the critical buckling load are proposed and discussed in detail, while comparisons with direct numerical simulations of the associated boundary-value problem confirm the excellent accuracy of the results obtained.
