The Geometric Role of Precisely Engineered Imperfections on the Critical Buckling Load of Spherical Elastic Shells (2016, methodology): “Our study is well aligned with efforts currently underway by NASA and others interested in large shell structures to replace the old empirical knockdown factors employed in design codes by an approach that: (i) first, measures the topographic distributions of imperfections, (ii) then, predicts buckl”
