Information about an axially compressed internally T-ring and externally T-stringer stiffened cylindrical shell to be optimized by PANDA2

This is Table 1 from the 2007 paper by Bushnell. This slide lists geometry, material properties, and loading of the stiffened cylindrical shell. PANDA2 names for dimensions such as H(STR), B(STR), etc., are defined in the next slide.
