Abstract
The paper first classifies various kinds of pressure loads, then linear and nonlinear finite element buckling analyses of cylindrical shells under uniform and non-uniform loads are presented. In particular the influence of displacement dependent loads on the buckling load of cylindrical shells under water and wind loading is discussed. Finally, the paper summarizes the design rules for wind loaded cylindrical tanks recently developed in Austria and Germany. The study has three goals: to clarify the problem and the effect of follower loads, to demonstrate the capability of nonlinear finite element analyses, and to discuss some results for design practice.
