Buckling Strength of Pressurized Cylindrical Shells under Axial Compression

Article Preview

Abstract:

A systematic parametric study was carried out to investigate the elastic and elastic-plastic buckling behaviors of imperfect steel shell subject to axial compression and internal pressure. Studied parameters include the magnitude of internal pressure, steel strength, and ratio of cylinder radius to shell thickness. Design equations were proposed for calculating the elastic and elastic-plastic buckling strength of imperfect steel shells under combination of axial compression and internal pressure. The buckling strength predicated by proposed equations agrees well with that from the numerical simulation.
