The effect of elastic core on the stability of composite circular cylindrical shells

摘要

The effect of an elastic core on the thin laminated circular cylindrical shells subjected to uniform axial compression, lateral pressure is analyzed. Moreover, the solution methodology is described, and results are generated for the compositecircular cylindrical shells with an elastic core. The results have shown that the material behavior of the core and the boundary conditions of shell have a great effect on stability. The method appears to be worth recommending, especially while designing solid engines.
