Stability of Composite Cylindrical Shells with Geometrical and Structural Imperfections Under Axial Compression*

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

A procedure for an analytical solution of the problem of the nonlinear deformation of composite cylindrical shells with initial surface imperfections in the form of various deflections and imperfections of the fibrous material in the form of imperfect bonding between the matrix and fibers is developed. The effect of these factors on the critical loads and the post-critical state of shells under axial compression is analyzed.
