Abstract:
      The in-plane buckling problem of a circular ring with symmetric fluctuant radius of curvature under uniform hydrostatic pressure is solved with Least Squares Method, and the critical load coefficients of antisymmetric buckling and symmetric buckling are calculated, respectively. The critical load coefficient of antisymmetric buckling is reduced by 67.71% for out-of-roundness parameter β=0.4. High precision formulas, the relative errors of which are within ±0.76%, of the critical load coefficients are obtained by minimum-relative-error data fitting. Based on the plane strain hypothesis, the critical load formulas are extended to a long circular tube with fluctuant radius of curvature under uniform hydrostatic pressure. The formulas are applied to the calculation of local buckling of a long circular steel tube, and the critical load is reduced only by 2.58% for the diameter fluctuating between the allowable maximum diameter and the nominal diameter.
