Abstract

The load-carrying capacity of axially compressed thin-walled shells of revolution with a circular cut is studied. The problem is solved by using the numerical version of an experimental-theoretical method. The numerical experiment is performed by using the finite-element software ANSYS/LS-DYNA 11.0. The size effect of a circular cut on the load-carrying capacity of a compressed cylindrical shell is investigated.
