Abstract
A comparison between analytical results (critical loads) and experimental results (buckling loads) is presented for imperfect, laminated, circular, cylindrical, thin shells. The loading consists of uniform axial compression and torsion, applied individually and in combination (load cases for which results are published in the open literature). The imperfection shape and amplitude of the experimental results are explicitly given for some data and not for others. In the latter case, the comparison is qualitative. The theoretical results are obtained from a solution methodology that was developed and previously reported by the authors. It is based on nonlinear kinematic relations, linearly elastic material behavior, and the usual lamination theory. The comparison serves as an experimental verification for the analytical solution scheme.
