Buckling of ring stiffened domes under external hydrostatic pressure (original) (raw)

Ocean Engineering, 2004

Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper reports on the buckling of three ring-stiffened prolate domes under external hydrostatic pressure. The study was partly theoretical and partly experimental, where in the case of the latter, the finite element was used. Comparison between experiment and theory was good. The effect of ring stiffening the domes was to increase their buckling resistances by factors varying from 4.43 to 5.72.
