Thin-walled structures are commonly utilized in aerospace and aircraft structures, which are
prone to buckling under axial compression and extremely sensitive to geometric …

In this study, we investigated the global–local buckling phenomenon with the aid of a multi-
Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique. First, the multi-DIC technique was introduced to …

This article reports on the manufacturing, experimental testing, and finite element analysis of
very thick and long carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) tubes under uniaxial …

This article contains examples to demonstrate the use of different design concepts for
cylindrical shells under axial compression. The examples are based on shells which were …

Thin-walled cylindrical shells are primary structures in aerospace, marine and civil
engineering. A major loading scenario for these imperfection sensitive shells is axial …

The stability failure of the axially loaded cylindrical shell is considered as the last unresolved
classical stability problem, although it has been investigated for over 100 years. Therefore …

This study investigated the buckling behavior of steel and steel–composite cylinders under
external pressure. The steel cylinders had a length-to-diameter ratio of 2.01 and a thickness …

Thin-walled cylindrical shells are prone to buckling under axial compression. The load-
carrying capacity of the shells can thus be significantly reduced. It's well known that the …

The initial geometric imperfection is one of the primary factors affecting the buckling
behaviors of composite cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure. In this study, ovality …

Thin-walled conical shells are used as adapters between cylindrical shells of different
diameters in launch-vehicle systems. Conical shells carry heavy payloads and are …
