This study aims to develop numerical simulations and empirical equations to predict the
ultimate residual strength of dented submarine pressure hulls. The collision scenarios …

This study was devoted to the buckling of ellipsoidal pressure hulls with stepwise wall
thicknesses. Ellipsoidal pressure hulls were fabricated from an ellipsoidal segmented …

This paper studies the strength and stability of the carbon fiber composite cylindrical hull
with strengthening ribs for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) based on finite …

This study investigated the buckling behavior of steel and steel–composite cylinders under
external pressure. The steel cylinders had a length-to-diameter ratio of 2.01 and a thickness …

The design of the pressure hull, one of the most important components, has great
significance for improving the performance of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). In …

The buckling of carbon fiber composite cylindrical shells (CF-CCSs) with annular ribs under
external pressure was investigated numerically and experimentally. The effects of rib cross …

Cylindrical shell structures are ubiquitous and essential supporting structures in various
engineering applications. The aim of this research work is to provide a comprehensive …

This study investigates the collapse of externally pressurized elliptical steel cylinders
stiffened with four helically wound composite stripes. The cylinders have a length of 320 mm …

This study focused on the buckling behaviour of double-layer (DL) and single-layer (SL)
stainless steel cylinders under uniform external pressure. Such cylinders are short thin …

The present paper illustrates a numerical investigation on the failure behaviour of ring-
stiffened cylinder subjected to external hydrostatic pressure. The published test data of steel …
