Abstract

A ring-reinforced, orthotropic circular cylindrical shell subjected to external hydrostatic pressure loading is investigated. The stresses and deflections throughout the shell are determined by a shell theory which considers the combined and separate influences of large rotations, initial deflections and thick-shell effects, such as, transverse shear deformations. The ring deformations are described by a deep ring theory. An analysis to approximate the actual stresses in the constituent materials of a non-homogeneous shell is applied.
