Thin-walled stiffened cylindrical shells are a common type of missile structure that work well under axial compressive loading. Their overall stability under this type of loading is an important consideration in their design, and so the development of simplified analyses and analysis procedures that predict accurately their buckling behavior are of great practical significance to designers. Two aspects of the buckling behavior of a stiffened shell that must be considered in the development of simplified analyses are the interactions between local and overall instabilities and the presence of inelastic deformation.
