Abstract: This paper deals with the initial postbuckling of antisymmetric cross-ply closed cylindrical shells under torsion. Under the assumptions employed in Koiter’s theory of elastic stability, the ...

Abstract: This paper examines the theoretical postbuckling behavior and imperfection-sensitivity of antisymmetrically laminated open, long, cylindrical panels under shear loads. The longitudinal edges may be ...

Abstract: This paper examines the effects of axial geometric imperfections on the fundamental vibration frequencies of cross-ply simply-supported oval cylindrical shells. It is found that the presence of ...
