Sanders’ path-independent energy-release-rate integral I for a cracked shallow shell is used to compute the asymptotic form of the combined stress-intensity factor for a pressurized elastically isotropic cylindrical shell containing a longitudinal crack. The combined stress-intensity factor is expressible in terms of the conventional stretching and bending stress-intensity factors and is a function of Poisson’s ratio v and a dimensionless crack length λ. When λ is small the shell is nearly flat and when λ is large the shell is very thin. Asymptotic formulas for I when λ is small or large are obtained. A numerical solution for λ = 0(1) is also obtained.

Formulation is derived for buckling of the circular cylindrical shell with multiple orthotropic layers and eccentric stiffeners acting under axial compression, lateral pressure, and/or combinations thereof, based on Sanders-Koiter theory. Buckling loads of circular cylindrical laminated composite shells are obtained using Sanders-Koiter, Love, and Donnell shell theories. These theories are compared for the variations in the stiffened cylindrical shells. To further demonstrate the shell theories for buckling load, the following particular case has been discussed: Cross-Ply with N odd (symmetric) laminated orthotropic layers. For certain cases the analytical buckling loads formula is derived for the stiffened isotropic cylindrical shell, when the ratio of the principal lamina stiffness is F = E2/E1 = 1. Due to the variations in geometrical and physical parameters in theory, meaningful general results are complicated to present. Accordingly, specific numerical examples are given to illustrate application of the proposed theory and derived analytical formulas for the buckling loads. The results derived herein are then compared to similar published work.
