Design of Stiffened Cylinders in Axial CompressionThe problem of optimum design of axially compressed cylinders stiffened by rings and stringers is discussed. Particular attention is devoted to configurations suitable for large launch vehicles. Consideration is given to the analytical techniques for determining strength as well as the procedure for optimization.
