Analysis, computation and experiments for cylindrical shells under uniform and non-uniform external pressure
Abstract
Solutions are given for cylindrical shell buckling under lateral uniform and non-uniform pressure, including some simplified expressions based on numerical studies. In the case of uniform pressure, results based on both Donnell and Flugge theories are given, for a wide range of geometries and combinations of boundary restraints.
