The critical buckling characteristics of hydrostatically pressurized complete spherical shells filled with an elastic medium are demonstrated. A model based on small deflection thin shell theory, the equations of which are solved in conjunction with variational principles, is presented. Axisymmetric and inextensional assumptions are not used initially in the exact formulation and the elastic medium is modeled as a Winkler foundation. Simplified approximations based on a Rayleigh-Ritz approach are also introduced for the critical buckling pressure. The present exact formulation can be readily extended to apply to more general cases of non-axisymmetric buckling problems and the approximate method can be extended to the post-buckling range.
