It has been observed that the most effective way to crush an empty aluminum beverage can is to apply an eccentric compressive load. Use buckling theory to explain this phenomenon. The can wall thickness is 80 μm, and the radius-to-thickness ratio is 200. The can is 12.2 cm high. How does the effect of eccentric compression compared with the likelihood of crushing (buckling) the empty can with normal loading?
