Dear Mechanics Twitter: Check out my latest JMPS paper w/ colleagues from the @flexlab_epfl @epfl_en. We study the critical buckling of a pressurized imperfect shell, containing a through-thickness (thin region) defect. Rich phase diagram! @EPFLEngineering

@saxenaprshnt Thanks Prashant! I like your work on magnetic membranes. Very interesting! We are writing a paper on magnetic shells. I will give a talk in the DSOFT virtual March meeting this afternoon. The schedule is here . Feel free to join if you are interested.

(3/3) The proposed mechanism is robust and insensitive to geometric imperfections. The tuning of knockdown factors is rationalized through a theoretical model that predicts the buckling strength of axisymmetric magnetic shells, in quantitative agreement with experiments.
