Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper is a supplement to one published in Mechanics of Structures and Machines in 1989 [1]. A brief discussion on the geometrical imperfection sensitivity of elastic toroidal shells is provided. The imperfections in meridian shape and thickness of the wall are taken into account and their influence on buckling pressure and post-buckling behavior is discussed. The results are compared for the shell of uniform thickness and the optimally distributed thickness of the wall [1].
