Abstract

This paper deals with the stability problem of axially compressed imperfect orthotropic cylindrical shells. The initial imperfections are represented by a double Fourier series. Approximate solutions are derived for a single axisymmetric, a single asymmetric, a 2-modes and a multimode imperfection model. The effect of boundary conditions is studied by reducing the stability problem to the solution of a 2-point nonlinear boundary value problem. A reliability based stochastic stability approach is described, which makes it possible to include the results of the Imperfection Sensitivity Theory directly into an Improved Shell Design Procedure.
