Buckling of a stud-supported thin cylindrical liner shell encased in concrete

Journal Article · · Nuclear Engineering and Design
The problem of a point-supported liner shell encased in a rigid cylindrical cavity is studied. The large displacement equations are developed, and the resulting non-linear equations are solved in closed form for an assumed buckling wave. The analytical model is specialized to the case of the ring or infinite cylinder under circumferential strain, and is compared to published results. Complete load displacement curves are presented for the ring or cylinder with a predominate circumferential strain, and for the axisymmetric response or cylindrical shells under an axial load. The results of this study can be used to determine the spacings of point supports for cylindrical liner shells.
