Title On the Local Buckling of Compressed Shells of Revolution Due to Micro-Fracture in the Material
Author(s) D. V. Babich (Kiev)
Abstract Inhomogeneity of strength characteristics of structural elements causes accumulation of micro-defects like plane cracks or pores in many materials [1-3]. Such structural changes of a material are responsible for the nonlinearity of the strain diagram.

One of the methods for joint description of deformation and damage has been proposed in [4], where fractured micro-volumes are modeled by structural micro-elements in the form of micro-pores.

Below, we propose a continuous model of deformation of elastic-brittle materials with accumulation of damage in the form of micro-cracks randomly distributed over the deformed body. The model was constructed with the assumption that in the process of deformation the micro-cracks neither grow nor interact with each other. The model proposed here is used to study local buckling of convex shells of revolution. There are two types of buckling connected with the nonlinearity of the state equations that accounts for the accumulation of plane micro-cracks (a similar situation arises in the investigations of buckling beyond the elastic limit). These are the buckling under continuous loading (the absence of unloading regions) and the buckling under constant loading (the presence of regions of unloading and additional loading). In the unloading regions the crack concentration does not change, and therefore, deformation obeys the linear law. During the additional loading, the material undergoes nonlinear deformation due to an increase in crack concentration. Such a specific feature of deformation of the shell under constant loading, the reduced modulus load exceeds the tangential modulus load. To simplify the statement of the problem and increase the accuracy of the solution of the buckling problem, we use the concept of continuous loading.
