This video shows experimental tests carried on 4 PVC thin-walled tubes to destruction; under uniform external hydrostatic pressure. All 4 vessels collapsed by non-symmetric bifurcation buckling; better known as lobar buckling or shell instability. This work is of importance when circular section cylindrical tubes are used underground and also when they are used under water.under
