Abstract

Buckling and postbuckling behaviors of perfect and imperfect, stringer and orthotropically stiffened cylindrical shells have been studied under axial compression. Based on the boundary layer theory for the buckling of thin alastic shells suggested in ref. [1], a theoretical analysis is presented. The effects of material properties of stiffeners and skin, which are made of different materials, on the buckling load and postbuckling behavior of stiffened cylindrical shells have also been discussed.
