Buckling Reliability Analysis for the Cylindrical Shell with Initial Defects

Article Preview

Abstract:

in this paper, the asymptotic expression of the buckling critical load coefficient of the thin cylindrical shell with local axial symmetry initial defects under the axial loads is deduced by used the Karman-Donnel Equation. The buckling safety margin equation of the cylindrical shell with initial defects is constructed. Furthermore, the buckling reliability index is solved by used AFOSM (Advanced First-Order Second Moment) method. In the end, a numerical example is given to analyze the influence of the band width and amplitude of local axial symmetry initial defects on the structural buckling reliability index.
