Abstract
The static postbuckling of flat and doubly-curved shallow panels under the combined action of a system of uniaxial/biaxial compressive edge loads and a lateral pressure field is investigated, and the effects of transverse shear, initial geometric imperfections and tangential edge constraints upon load carrying capacity of curved panels are emphasized. Comparisons of the classical and shear deformable theories are made and issues related to the sensitivity to the snap-through behaviour are discussed. A variety of loading systems and panel geometries are considered in the numerical illustrations and pertinent conclusions related to the postbuckling response are outlined.
