I have a question regarding 5.4.2. Buckling analysis - Method A - ASME Section VIII Division 2.
How to analyze results of a buckling analysis of pressure vesse which is only loaded with internal pressure. Does negative EigenValue mean that buckling will happened if there is reversed load and my design is safe?
