Abstract

The influence of localized imperfections on the buckling of a long cylindrical shell under axial compression is analysed by using a double scale analysis including interaction modes. This leads to a system of coupled complex non-linear differential equations with discontinuous derivatives. We propose analytical formulas to predict the reduction of the critical buckling load.
