Abstract
Bifurcation intability modes of axially compressed circular cylindrical shell are investigated in the limit of zero thickness (i.e., h (thickness) → 0) analytically, adopting the general stability theory developed by Triantafyllidis and Kwon(1987) and Kwon(1992). The primary state of the shell is obtained in a closed form using the asymptotic technique, and then the straightforward bifurcation analysis is followed according to the general stability theory to obtain the bifurcation modes in the limit of zero thickness in a full analytical manner. Hence, the closed form bifurcation solution is obtained. Finally, the result is compared with the classical one.
