ABSTRACT
The stability of a cylindrical shell subjected to wind load is analyzed using numerical solution methods. The multisegment direct integration as well as the finite element method are applied in linear analysis, and a nonlinear finite element algorithm is used to take into account the nonlinear prebuckling effects of the perfect and imperfect structure. The calculated results are compared with measurements, and good agreement is derived with respect to both stability limit and buckling mode.
