Abstract

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the stability of orthotropic cylindrical shells in bending with a transverse force, which has been carried out on model shells. The peculiarities of the buckling process as a function of the parameters of shells are described. It has been shown that numerical solution with the aid of the LIRA software package, which is based on the linear stability theory, can be used to calculate the stability of elastic shells in transverse bending in the whole relative length range, which covers the “shear” and “flexural” forms of buckling, with an error of the order of 10%.
