Abstract
This paper presents an investigation into the buckling of
circular corrugated cylinders under uniform external pressure.
Experimental results together with a theoretical finite element
analysis were used to create a design chart for the estimation of
inelastic non-symmetric bifurcation buckling pressures of
corrugated cylinders under external hydrostatic pressure. The
use of design charts like these is important in the design of
novel submarine pressure hulls and is therefore of interest to
both naval architects and pressure vessel designers. The work
completed in this project was largely experimental but it also
involved some computational analysis.
