abstract

this study aims to investigate the effects of geometric imperfections on buckling of thin cylindrical shells due to global shear. to this end, more than 320 finite element models of cylindrical shells with different diameter to thickness ratios were prepared. random imperfections with different amplitudes were applied to numerical models. the results revealed that global buckling of cylindrical shells are susceptible to imperfection patterns. it was also shown that yamaki’s expression can be considered as upper band for plastic shear buckling of thin cylindrical shells.

Buckling of Stiffened Thin Walled Cylindrical Shells due to Global Shear

Thin walled cylindrical shells are important components of industrial structures such as liquid storage tanks, silos, etc. Shell buckling is usually a major failure mode of thin walled shells under extreme loads such as earthquakes. Longitudinal and radial stiffeners are generally used in order to increase buckling capacity of thin walled shells. During an earthquake, cylindrical shells may exp...

Buckling of Stiffened Thin-Walled Cylindrical Shells under Axial Compression with Symmetrical Imperfections

This study aimed to investigate the effects of stiffeners on buckling of thin cylindrical shells under uniform axial compression. To this end, more than 300 finite element models of stiffened cylindrical shells were prepared. The variables considered are shell thickness, number, dimension and the location of the vertical and horizontal stiffeners as well as circular symmetrical imperfections. R...
