    The document discusses cylindrical shells under shear stresses. It summarizes a table that provides critical and characteristic shear buckling stresses according to design guidelines. It then discusses findings from a pilot test on cylindrical shells with stepped wall thicknesses, noting that using the minimum thickness and total length may be overly conservative for design. More accurate shear buckling loads could be determined using a substitute cylinder with constant minimum thickness and adjusted effective length. It also confirms that buckling interaction between transverse shear and bending compression can generally be neglected for design of cylindrical shells.

    Cylindrical shells under shear stresses

    Table 8.5 Critical and characteristic shear buckling stresses according to ENV 1993-1-6; t = tmin = 0.2 mm, leff = l1 and leff = ltot t (mm) 0.2 0.2 leff (mm) 328 984 Rc (N/mm2 ) 17.8 10.3 , Class B (-) 2.23 2.94 Rk , Class B (N/mm2 ) 11.6 6.68

    shear buckling mode (13.7 > 11.6, but 18.0 < 23.4), and they give a conservative estimate for the shear buckling stress even when assuming a strong radial restraint of the upper strake at its lower junction (15.5 > 11.6). These ndings show that it may be overconservative to design a cylindrical shell with stepped wall thickness by using in the absence of a more realistic model the smallest wall thickness of the upper strake and the whole length of the cylinder. To determine more accurate shear buckling loads in such cases, a substitute cylinder with t = const = tmin and with properly adjusted effective length for shear buckling (similar to the rules for external pressure buckling in ENV 1993-1-6) should be introduced. Investigations into that direction are currently underway at the University of Essen. Moreover, the pilot test conrms again that buckling interaction between transverse shear and bending compression may generally be neglected when designing a cylindrical shell.

    Concluding remarks
    The state of knowledge on the behaviour of cylindrical shells under torsional and transverse shear has been presented in this chapter. For unstiffened cylindrical shells with uniform thickness subjected to a transverse load and bending, there exist two distinct failure modes, a shear buckling mode and an axial compression buckling mode. Both can be treated properly by means of the available design guidelines. Moreover, it seems reasonable to abstain from a buckling interaction check. First experimental results on cylindrical shells with stepped wall thickness under a transverse load have also been reported, suggesting a shear buckling design procedure using a substitute length approach.
