A load interaction parameter is defined to express the combination of applied axial compression and external pressure. The stability equations are derived by the adjacent equilibrium criterion method...

... equations are based on Reddy’s higher order shear deformation shell theory with a von Kármán–Donnell type of kinematic nonlinearity and including thermal effects. A singular perturbation technique is employed to determine the buckling pressure and postbuckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations...
