Abstract

Thin-walled cylindrical shells under axial compression are commonly found in a wide range of civil engineering steel shell structures, including silos, towers, chimneys and tanks. Buckling of axially compressed cylindrical shells has been one of the most active areas of shell buckling research. The purpose of this paper is to review the globe study of the stability of thin-walled cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression, refine academic and engineering problems, and propose ideas for future research and development. Influence of initial geometric imperfection on stability of cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression is first introduced, followed by the influence of welding residual stress on the stability of cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression, as well as the influence of internal pressure on the stability of cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression. Meanwhile, suggestions for further research are proposed from the authors' point of view, offering reference for readers.
