Abstract: | The stability of circular columns of unidirectional glass-reinforced plastic (EF-32-301) is investigated for two types of end conditions: hinged at both ends and one end hinged, the other fixed. The experimental data are compared with theory 1]. A relationship is established between the change in reduced length and the shear parameter.Institute of Hydrodynamics, Siberian Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Novosibirsk.
