Abstract

A linear analysis method is offered to predict the theoretical elastoplastic buckling of stringer stiffened cylindrical shells subjected to longitudinal loading. Welding residual stresses are taken into account in the calculation, but effects of geometrical imperfections and pre-buckling displacements are ignored. The examples analysed show a good correlation between the analytical results and those obtained experimentally with stocky models of moderate geometrical imperfections.
