Abstract
The paper proposes a new approach to estimate the lower bounds of critical loads for circular cylindrical shells. These bounds are compared with the ordinary lower bound of critical load under which a shell with initial deflections loses stability. The lower bound produced by the approach is higher than the ordinary bound and can be used in design
