Abstract
We study the solution field M of a parameter dependent nonlinear two-point boundary value problem presented by Troger and Steindl [H. Troger, A. Steindl, Nonlinear Stability and Bifurcation Theory, Springer, Wien, New York, 1991]. This problem models the buckling of a thin-walled spherical shell under a uniform external static pressure. The boundary value problem is formulated as an abstract operator equation T( x, λ)=0 in appropriate Banach spaces. By exploiting the equivariance of T, we obtain detailed informations about the structure of M . These theoretical results are used to compute efficiently interesting parts of M with numerical standard techniques. Bifurcation diagrams, a stability diagram and pictures of deformed shells are presented.
