Buckling of un-stiffened cylindrical shell under non-uniform axial compressive stress附视频

This paper provides a review of recent research advances and trends in the area of stability of un stiffened circular cylindrical shells subjected to general non uniform axial compressive stresses. Only the more important and interesting aspects of the research, judged from a personal viewpoint, are discussed. They can be crudely classified into four categories: (1) shells subjected to non uniform loads; (2) shells on discrete supports; (3) shells with intended cutouts/holes; and (4) shells with non uniform settlements.
