Results of tests on postbuckling equilibrium positions of isotropic thin-walled circular cylindrical shells under axial compression, external pressure and combined loading are reported and compared with available theoretical results.
The problem of circumferential buckling of a thin circular cylindrical shell due to compressive hoop stresses which vary in the axial direction is examined. For extremely localised compressive hoop stress distributions resulting from thermal discontinuity effects, or from a uniform, radial line loading, the buckle pattern should also be localised. Simplified analyses into these two types of problem are considered which show that only a limited number of buckle deflection modes needs to be assumed.
Experimental and theoretical studies have been carried out to investigate the stability of ring-stiffened cylinders and hemispherical shells under hydrostatic pressure. The use of accurately machined models has been found extremely valuable in improving the quality of experimental data, thereby permitting a more careful examination of theory. As a result, the effects of boundary conditions and other factors usually masked by the influence of structural imperfections have been clarified. So far these studies have caused the investigators to regard classical small-deflection theory with increasing confidence.
