    Limits of Roark's formula for buckling of shell

    Hello, I would like to understand what kind of error results from using Roark's formulas for the buckling of a thin tube when the thickness of the wall, in fact, is larger than the the "1/10 of radius" limit for their validity. Are the predictions obtained conservative (undervalue of crush...
