Abstract
The effect of the number and size of rings on the buckling strength of ring-stiffened cylinders is studied experimentally. The results of ten machined ring-stiffened cylinders subjected to lateral pressure are presented. Five of the cylinders failed by the general instability mode and the rest failed by the shell instability mode. A sample of the experimental results which shows longitudinal and circumferential strains as well as the development of the circularity contours till collapse is presented. Buckling pressures obtained from the experiments are shown to be within ±30% of the corresponding value obtained from the theoretical analysis available in the literature.
