A posteriori initial imperfection identification in shell buckling problems

The current research seeks to demonstrate that an inverse solution approach, leveraging nonlinear finite element analysis with a divide and conquer type stochastic search algorithm, can identify the presence of localized denting imperfections in cylindrical shell structures. This imperfection field...
