The paper considers problem of buckling a thin elastic cylindrical shell, supported by rings various stiffness. approximate solution for clamping edge was obtained with analytical Rayleigh-Ritz method. parameters the optimal distribution mass structure between shell and stiffeners are found in order to maximize critical pressure. Frames zero eccentricity considered. solutions compared finite el...

This paper deals with an analytical approach to predict the nonlinear buckling behavior of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite laminated cylindrical shells under axial compressive load surrounded by Pasternak’s elastic foundation in a thermal environment. Piece-wise functionally graded graphene-reinforced, composite layers are sorted with different types of graphene distribution. ...

The elastic buckling of shell structures such as spherical shells subject to external pressure and cylindrical shells loaded in axial compression is highly sensitive to imperfections and often catastrophic. Recent studies of spherical shells have provided accurate quantitative results for the relation between the buckling pressure and the amplitude and shape of geometric imperfections and, addi...

Understanding how a cutout influences the load bearing capacity and buckling behavior of cylindrical shells is fundamental in the design of structural components used in automobiles, aircrafts, and marine structures. In this article, simulation and analysis of steel cylindrical shells with various lengths, include quasi elliptical cutout, subjected to axial compression were systematically carri...
