The study of the effect of material properties and dimensions and loading currents on liner buckling,using a capacitor bank as a driver,indicates that the mode number for buckling increases with the ratio of radius to thickness of a liner,and the yield strength to plastic hardening modulus,but keeps invariable with the increase of loading current,and that the magnitude of buckling in.

The flexural buckling critical stress?buckling load and buckling half wavelength of the compressed face in sandwich panels are measured,and compared with the results of the finite╟strip╟prism method,there is good agreement between experimental and theoretical values.
