Abstract

This paper studies the instability behavior of stringer-stiffened cone–cylinder shells under axial compressive load via computational finite element (FE) code, ABAQUS. First, the FE model was validated using past experiments on four cone–cylinder specimens (two unstiffened and two stringer-stiffened) fabricated in pairs using mild steel. Results show that the comparison between numerical and experimental collapse loads was less than 10%. Second, parametric study was conducted using the validated FE model to investigate the effects of the location and number of stringers on the buckling behavior of axially compressed cone–cylinder structures. It has been found that reinforcing the cone–cylinder structures tends to produce higher buckling load when compared to the unstiffened ones. The presence of stringers changes the failure mode of the structure, and the initial post-buckling curves show a less steep negative slope when compared to that of the unstiffened counterpart. Externally stiffened structures were able to sustain more load as compared to the internally stiffened counterpart. Introducing longitudinal reinforcement on the conical section and ring reinforcement on the cone–cylinder junction produces a much higher buckling load compared to having stringer-stiffeners on the conical part only.
