Abstract
The papers by Cuccia et al. and Groh et al. deal with application of the probing technique to cylindrical shells under axial compression. The first paper examines the elastic buckling of thin shell soda cans that have been deliberately dented. A background imperfection pattern inherent to each can is such that even without the deliberate imperfections, the shell buckles well below the prediction for a perfect can. This is one of the first papers to explore the importance of probing location for a structure with complex buckling behavior. It shows that depending on the severity of the deliberat
