Abstract
A method of determining the critical stresses is developed for elastic orthotropic cylindrical shells subjected to nonuniform pressure. It is assumed that the external pressure varies over the cross section and is constant along the length of the cylinder. A shell stability analysis is given for the case of a weakly varying load.
