models with different edge stiffener shapes are studied and compared. Hysteresis curves, energy dissipation, out of plane buckling, initial stiffness and strength are discussed and studied. The proposed slit shape reduces the initial stiffness, increases...

In this paper we analyze the behavior of hysteresis curves of CK20 alloy steel cylindrical shells under various types of axial cyclic loadings. Due to occurrence of local buckling in sections which are under compressive loads and also due...

In this research, softening and ratcheting behaviors of Ck20 alloy steel

cylindrical shells were studied under displacement-control and force-control

cyclic axial loading and the behavior of hysteresis curves of specimens was...
