In this research, a buckling numerical analysis of stiffened and unstiffened cylindrical shells is presented; in the first part of this work, the numerical FE code has been validated by comparing the numerical results with an experimental campaign carried out at the Department of Naval Architecture of the University of Genova. In the second part, the buckling occurrence of stiffened cylindrical shells representing a real submarine vehicle has been analysed in order to verify which is the limit state design of these type of unit.
