buckled externally pressurized ring-stiffened cylindrical shells

This and the previous two slides show the buckling behavior of perfect & 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.
