The effects of cutouts on the buckling of thin shellsA study of the effects of circular and rectangular cutouts on the buckling of thin cylinders loaded by axial compression, bending, and torsion is presented. Experimentally determined design curves for the various loading conditions are provided. Some analytical verification of the experimental results is also provided by a finite-element computer program.
