Abstract

This paper deals with the buckling and initial-postbuckling behavior and imperfection-sensitivity of stringer or ring stiffened cylindrical shells under pure torsion. In particular, the effectiveness of stringer versus ring reinforced shells is examined for various types of stiffener and shell parameters under different boundary condition. The initial-postbuckling single-mode analysis is performed using Koiter’s general theory of elastic stability. By changing the parameters of stringer or ring, we are able to find out how does the stringer or ring affecting the buckling and post-buckling behavior of cylindrical shells.
