This and the next three slides show the buckling behavior of perfect and imperfect stiffened shells. This slide exhibits the buckling behavior of ring-stiffened cylindrical shells under uniform external hydrostatic pressure.
(a) local axisymmetric collapse between very sturdy rings;
(b) local non-axisymmetric buckling between medium rings;
(c) general buckling in a specimen with small rings.
