The analysis of part I is extended to deal with the case of free-edged rectangular plates having an initial curvature about an axis parallel to one pair of opposite edges and loaded by distributed bending moments applied to the straight edges and compressive forces applied to the curved edges. In particular, the stability and post-buckling behaviour of such plates subjected to the compressive forces alone is studied. The axially symmetrical buckling of thin-walled circular tubes in axial compression is also considered. Experimental plates are found to buckle at loads rather lower than those predicted.

We compute nonlinear force equilibrium solutions for a clamped thin cylindrical shell under axial compression. The equilibrium solutions are dynamically unstable and located on the stability boundary of the unbuckled state. A fully localized single dimple deformation is identified as the edge state —the attractor for the dynamics restricted to the stability boundary. Under variation of the axial load, the single dimple undergoes homoclinic snaking in the azimuthal direction, creating states with multiple dimples arranged around the central circumference. Once the circumference is completely filled with a ring of dimples, snaking in the axial direction leads to further growth of the dimple pattern. These fully nonlinear solutions embedded in the stability boundary of the unbuckled state constitute critical shape deformations. The solutions may thus be a step towards explaining when the buckling and subsequent collapse of an axially loaded cylinder shell is triggered.

Abstract The present study is concerned with translaminar reinforcement in a sandwich beam for preventing buckling of a delaminated face-sheet under axial compression. Graphite/epoxy pins are used as reinforcement in the thickness direction of sandwich beams consisting of graphite/epoxy face-sheets and a Aramid honeycomb core. Compression tests are performed to understand the effects of the diameter of the reinforcing pins and reinforcement spacing on the ultimate compressive strength of the delaminated beams. A finite element analysis is performed to understand the effects of translaminar reinforcement on the critical buckling loads and post-buckling behavior of the sandwich beam under axial compression.

The post-buckling of stiffened, cross-ply laminated, circular determine the effects of shell lamination scheme and stiffeners on the reduced load-carrying capacity. The effect of geometric imperfection is also included. The analysis is based on the layerwise shell theory of Reddy, and the “smeared stiffener” technique is used to account for the stiffener stiffness. Nu cylinders under uniform axial compression is investigated to merical results for stiffened and unstiffened cylinders are presented, showing that imperfection-sensitivity is strictly related to the number of nearly simultaneous buckling modes.

A nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom system is considered to simulate the peculiar behavior of stringer-stiffened cylindrical shells under nonuniform axial compression, which was observed in recent tests where the characteristic curves (eigenfrequency squared versus load) were nonmonotonic and decreasing steeply when approaching the critical load. Correlation is traced between the characteristic curves and equilibrium paths. It is shown that for particular nonzero values of load eccentricity, bifurcations are observed instead of the usual limit points. Nonunique stable post-buckling equilibrium paths are pointed out. The general properties of characteristic curves are discussed.

Abstract The paper is devoted to buckling problem of axially compressed shallow cylindrical panels. Governing differential equations of the nonlinear theory of shallow cylindrical shells are analytically solved. Critical stresses and equilibrium paths of the panels with small curvatures are analytically studied. The formula of the critical stresses for almost flat, cylindrical panels is derived. The “shallowness” of the panel is given by the parameter α and formulae are derived for a range of this parameter. The range of values of sectorial angle for these panels is also defined.
