Post-buckling analysis of magneto-electro-elastic composite cylindrical shells subjected to multi-field coupled loadings

Axial compressed cylindrical shell has a post-buckling equilibrium state far below the critical load of eigenvalue buckling, therefore the post-buckling analysis could provide a more reliable instability criterion for engineering design. In this paper, the post-buckling analysis of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composite cylindrical shells subjected to multi-field coupled loadings is performed. The nonlinear large deflection governing equations...
