180-degree torqued widely ring/stringer-stiffened cylindrical shell, The post-critical model deformation and test results agree.

The 180-degree open cylindrical test specimen is shown in the previous slide.

The circumferential rivets indicate the locations of the two end bulkheads and the slender ring at the midlength of the specimen. The longitudinal rivets indicate the locations of the widely spaced stringers.
