ABSTRACT: Applying the Galerkin procedure to the Donnell basic equations, solutions of exact nature are obtained for the postbuckling behavior of circular cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure. Through detailed calculations, connections of the edge shortening, deflection and volume change with applied pressure are clarified for a wide range of shell geometries. The results here obtained are ascertained to be in good agreement with experimental results.

ABSTRACT: Detailed experimental studies are performed on the postbuckling behavior of circular cylindrical shells under compression, by using polyester test cylinders with the geometric parameter Z ranging from 20 to 1000. In each case, variations of the equilibrium load, circumferential wave number and maximum inward and outward deflections, with applied edge shortenings, are clarified. Contour lines for typical postbuckling configurations are also shown. It is found that, as the cylinder is compressed beyond the primary buckling, secondary bucklings take place successively with diminishing wave numbers, and that postbuckling equilibrium loads become significantly lower than those at buckling as Z increases. Further, for short shells with Z less than or equal to 100, the buckled waveforms are always symmetric with one-tier diamond buckles, while for longer shells, asymmetric postbuckling patterns with two tiers of buckles dominate.

ABSTRACT: Applying the Galerkin procedure to the Donnell basic equations, reasonably accurate solutions are obtained for the postbuckling behavior of clamped circular cylindrical shells under axial compression. To make a distinct comparison with the previous experimental results, calculations are carried out for shells with the same elastic and geometric parameters and the relations between the waveform, axial shortening and maximum deflections with applied loads are clarified. The results here obtained are found to be in reasonable agreement with experimental ones throughout the regions with fairly large deformations.
