Suppression of Brazier Effect in Multilayered Cylinders

Figure 7

(a) Oblateness suppression caused by interlayer coupling in a 50-layered system. The coupling strength is quantified by the normalized spring constant with being Young’s modulus. (b) Difference in the short radius of deformed cross-sections between the weak and strong coupling conditions: .
