    Abstract: This paper uses perturbation techniques in asymptotic procedures to determine the normal displacement, the associated Airy stress function and the dynamic buckling load of an imperfect, finite toroidal shell segment pressurized by a step load. The adoption of asymptotic and perturbation procedure is made possible by the presence of small non-dimens... Show More

    Abstract: Time series analyses are statistical methods used to assess trends in repeated measurements taken at equally spaced time intervals and their relationships with other trends or events, taking account of the temporal structure of such data. An important aspect of descriptive time series analysis is the choice of model for time series decomposition. T... Show More
