Equations (8). and (9) may "be used when the length of the cylinder
is more than a"bout 3A of "the radius. The empirical curves of
reference 10 indicate that the critical stress is substantially
independent of length when the length is greater than about J>fh of
the radius. ($hlB result may "be checked "by noting that for Z > 0.5 %
the experimental curves of figure 2 are substantially straight lines
of unit slope.)
In figure 5, the empirical formula of Kanemitsu and Nojima
(equation (6) of the present paper, and the "best previously published
formula for the "buckling of cylinders) is plotted in terms of the
parameters k^ and Z. The curves are cut off at those values of Z
corresponding to the lower limits of the range of dimensions within
which the formula was intended to apply. In general^ for the range
covered, the curves are in.reasonable- agreement with the test data
and with the curves of the present paper for cylinders with clamped

Empirical curves are presented for the critical stress of thin-walled cylinders loaded
In axial compression. Curves are plotted In terms of nondlmensional parameters of
small-deflection theory and are compared with theoretical curves. Results obtained
follow the general trend of the theoretical curve for cylinders with clamped edges
and agree closely with the theory In the case of short cylinders. However, it falls
below the theoretical results for long cylinders.
