Local buckling only occurs in "comparatively long" cylinders.
[edit]In his 1955 paper, Yoshimura makes the two following statements about the relationship between cylinder length and local buckling:
"Though the general buckling was not realized in experiments with comparatively long cylinders, it will be realized if a cylinder of a particular length, corresponding to 1.5 times of the wave length, is used."
"The first is that the cylinder practically always buckles locally, at least in comparatively long cylinders as used in our experiments."
Basically, cylinders must be long enough to exhibit local buckling, and global buckling (which is the opposite of local) occurs when a cylinder of a length that is 1.5 times its wave length is used. Do I interpret this to be the threshold length for local buckling, and add it under the local buckling subsection? It feels way too speculative.
