Abstract
The influence of eccentricity of loading on the vibrations and buckling of stringer-stiffened shells is studied. An established nonlinear theory, which takes into account nonlinear prebuckling, is applied and the predictions are compared with experimental results. Two families of shells, one ‘heavily’ stiffened and the other ‘moderately’ stiffened, were tested but detailed results are presented only for the ‘heavily’ stiffened shells. In each family there are three identical shells, each with different eccentricity of loading. In all cases, different in-plane-boundary conditions are considered and correlated with experimental results.
