For an open-ended cylinder, the critical pressure to cause buckling Pc is given by the following expression see Windenburg and Trilling (1934) ... 

Snakes were trained to look for earthworm bits in a plastic 5-arm radial maze (similar to that used by Kubie and Halpern 1978,1979). At the beginning of every trial, the snake was placed in an open-ended cylinder placed in the center of the foraging apparatus. After 1 minute, the cylinder was lifted and the snake was allowed to explore the apparatus. During training, the goal box at the end of each arm of the maze was baited with earthworm bits to encourage the animal to enter each arm in search of food. Tongue-flick data was recorded before and after prey consumption. 

A square field (80 x 80 cm), with a milk-glass floor, marked off in 5 cm squares, opaque walls and a clear Plexiglas top was used. Snakes were placed in an open-ended cylinder and placed in the middle of the apparatus and the snake was allowed 1 minute to adapt. The cylinder was lifted and the snake was allowed to explore the apparatus for one minute during which tongue-flicks were videotaped. No prey or prey odor was ever placed in this apparatus. 

In a further theory, the pores are considered to be open-ended cylinders. Condensation will commence on the pore walls, for which the principal radii of curvature are the pore radius and infinity, and continue until the pore is filled with condensed liquid. Evaporation must take place from the concave liquid surfaces at the ends of the pore, for which (assuming zero contact angle) the principal radii of curvature are both equal to the pore radius. 

The use of Monobloc cans produced by this method is usually restricted to smaller sizes for cost reasons, but in countries where aluminium is cheaper relatively large aerosols are produced. Impact extrusion is also used to produce open-ended cylinders onto which bases are seamed, e.g. general purpose liquid containers and two-piece aerosol cans. In this case a ring slug is used rather than a disc, and the lower end is formed in the shape of the shoulder during the extrusion process, e.g. as for collapsible tubes. 

These SslA tubes are hollow, open-ended cylinders having between 450 and 600 nm in diameter (radius) and between 1.1 and 4.5 pm in length. The density of the tubes is not very high.

However, principal stresses and consequently the eraeks they cause, may appear in a number of different positions depending upon the relative magnitudes of loads, moments and shear carried by the seetion. Significant differences oecur among isolated cap tests and full model tests. Reported ultimate load tests for Oldbury and Bungeness B vessels eonsider each vessel to be initially broken up into an open-ended cylinder and two end slabs. The mechanisms of this initial break-up, however, appear to be in disagreement with each other. For the Oldbury analysis, the slab was separated from the barrel by a plastic hinge at the junction of the slab and barrel. 

Isolated S-layer subunits from a great variety of bacteria show the ability to reassemble into lattices identical to those observed on intact cells. Depending on the intrinsic properties of the S-layer protein and the reassembly conditions (e.g., pH value, ionic strength, ion composition) isolated S-layer subunits may recrystallize into flat sheets, open-ended cylinders, or closed vesicles (Figs. 9, 10) [7,59,69]. Several studies confirmed that S-layers are self-assembly systems in which all the information for crystallization resides within the individual monomers [57] (see this volume. Chapter 1). Detailed studies on the kinetics of the in vitfo self-assembly in suspension, the shape of self-assembly products, the charge distribution, and the topographical properties of the outer and inner surface were carried out with S-layers from Bacillaceae. 

Havard and Wilson [77] describe pore measurement on meso-porous silica surface area standard powders. They presented pore size distributions based on the modeUess method and the Kelvin equation based on open ended cylinders and spheres with co-ordination numbers of 4, 6 and 8. The isotherm can be used to calibrate BET apparatus over the whole range (samples are available from the British National Physical Laboratory). 

Harris and Adams (1985) have examined the impact strength of lap-shear joints bonded with ductile adhesives. They also made open-ended cylinders of steel and aluminum alloy joined by spot welding and weldbonding with one of the ductile adhesives used for the lap-shear tests, and tested them under axial impact loading. The results indicated that the weldbonded joints had a small failure area and higher energy absorption than those joined only by spot welding. 

Thin-wallcd and thick-walled cylinders arc forms of pipeline primarily used in the offshore industry to transport gas and hquid under pressure. Cylindrical pipes are also used as a stmctural load bearing member to restrain the motion of a platform, for example, in response to wind, waves and currents (to within a specified limit). When a pipe is exposed to a combination of internal and external pressure, the pipe material will be subjected to pressure loading and, as a result, will develop stresses in all directions. The resulting normal stresses induced by the pressure loading are functions of the pipe diameter, wall thickness and cylindrical shell boundary conditions (open-ended cylinder or closed-ended cylinder) (Kashani and Young, 2008).
