Synopsis
An extensive experimental investigation of buckling of conical shells that are supported only along their lower edge and that are loaded by the weight of a liquid leads to diagrams and formulas which can be used directly in the design of such shells. The margin of safety to be applied, the influence of welding stresses and the limitations on the validity of the formulas for structures with different boundary conditions are discussed.
