Abstract

The effects of anisotropy, transverse shear stiffness, length, and their interactions on buckling under pure torsion and under combined axial compression and torsion were investigated using a previously derived analytical model based on deep shell theory including anisotropy and transverse shear stiffness. The model was verified only for buckling under pure axial compression, hence results for buckling under torsion have now been compared with the results of previous analyses, and the comparison showed that the model has good accuracy for buckling under torsion. Investigation showed that the buckling loads of a cylindrical shell are affected not only by anisotropy and transverse shear stiffness but also by shell length. This means that the shallow shell theory (Donnell-type theory) is not appropriate and deep shell theory including anisotropy and transverse shear stiffness must be used.
