... recognizable design codes API RP 2A, API Bulletin 2U, and DnV RP C202 would be required to guide the design of a suction pile to prevent cylindrical shell buckling. Thin-Wall Structural Buckling Cylindrical thin wall buckling can be traced back to Euler s column buckling theory where the axial buckling load...

New formulations for local buckling of ring-stiffened and ring- and stringer- stiffened cylindrical shells, when subjected to both longitudinal...

... for their columns and pontoons. As first design approaches were very conservative. efficient strength models for orthogonally stiffened cylindrical shells had to be developed, mainly for designing the shell plating and the stringers1.2. However, the design of ring frames in orthogonally stiffened cylinders under...

... ABSTRACT In this study, axial compression tests and bending and shearing tests under constant axial compression were conducted systematically on four types of stiffened circular cylindrical shells measuring 1,200 mm in length and 800 mm in diameter and composed of ring frames and longitudinal...

... buckling. Cylindrical shells of low diameter to thickness (Oft) ratios, such as tubular members of conventional offshore platforms, are generally not subject to buckling and can be designed on the basis of material failure. Cylindrical shells of relatively high D/t ratios, on the other hand, may be subject...

... Abstract A computer procedure is presented or determining the critical combinations of longitudinal loading and external, pressure for ring-stiffened cylindrical shells. Such shells have various applications in offshore technology, the most important of these perhaps being the supports...
