Buckling and vibration of circumferentially corrugated cylinders under uniform external water pressure
- Univ. of Portsmouth (United Kingdom). Dept. of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
The paper describes a theoretical and an experimental investigation into the buckling and vibration of two circumferentially corrugated steel cylinders under external water pressure. The buckling tests showed that the vessels were very sensitive to the magnitudes of their initial out-of-circularity and their slenderness. The tests also showed that circumferentially corrugated circular cylinders may prove a suitable alternative to ring-stiffened vessels. The vibration tests showed that the magnitudes of the resonant frequencies of the vessels decreased considerably when the vessels were put into water, and these frequencies decreased even further when the vessels were subjected to external water pressure.
