Abstract

Compound toroidal shells whose surface is generated by revolving joined circular arcs are analyzed for stability. The proposed approach makes exact allowance for the geometry of the shell and the way its segments are joined. Shells made of composite materials are analyzed as an example to demonstrate the possibility of optimizing the meridian shape to increase the critical loads for various constructive designs of the joint
