or external pressure, and buckling under global shear appears to be even less sensitive. Several forms of geometric imperfection have been studied, but all show this reduced sensitivity. In their experimental study of plastic buckling, Galletly and Blachut (1985) noted that when a buckled shell was turned through an angle of 90 and tested again, the buckling load was only about 10% lower than the rst load, even though
