Linear bifurcation buckling mode of the optimized ring and stringer stiffened cylindrical shell under combined Nx and Nxy

This is Fig. 3 from the 2002 stagsunit paper. This slide shows the fundamental bifurcation buckling mode (the buckling mode associated with the lowest buckling load factor) predicted by STAGS from the sub-domain model of the OPTIMIZED cylindrical shell under Load Set 1: axial compression, Nx=-700 lb/in and in-plane shear, Nxy=+40 lb/in.
