The buckling problem of circular cylindrical shells under axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is investigated using a displacement function φ. A governing differential equation for the stability of thin cylindrical shells under combined loading of axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is derived. A method for the solutions of this equation is also presented. The advantage in using the present equation over the customary three differential equations for displacements is that only one trial solution is needed in solving the buckling problems as shown in the paper. Four possible combinations of boundary conditions for a simply supported edge are treated. The case of a cylinder under axial compression is carried out in detail. For two types of simple supported boundary conditions, SS1 and SS2, the minimum critical axial buckling stress is found to be 43.5 percent of the well-known classical value Eh/R3(1−ν2) against the 50 percent of the classical value presently known.

This paper incorporates an analysis of the stability of orthotropic or isotropic cylindrical shells subjected to external pressure applied over all or part of their surfaces. An eighth-order governing equation for buckling of orthotropic, isotropic, and composite cylindrical shells is deduced. This governing differential equation can facilitate the analysis and enable us to resolve the buckling problem. The formulas and results, deduced for the first time in this paper, may be readily applied in determining critical loads for local loading of orthotropic, isotropic, and composite cylindrical shells.
