    Abstract

    The elastic buckling of thin, unstiffened cylindrical shells under axial compression was focused. The development of rational theories in order to explain experimental observations was considered. The modes of deformation in the post-buckling dimples in a cylindrical shell were particularly independent of thickness except in the highly deformed boundary-layer regions which separated the inextensionally distorted portions of the shell.
