Analytical Buckling Analysis of Cylindrical Shells with Elliptic Cross Section Subjected to External Pressure 

 -  In Recent Developments in the Theory of Shells. Springer, Cham., p.33-41, 2019 .
<br/><br/> An analytical algorithm for studying the stability of a cylindrical shells with elliptic cross section subjected to external pressure is proposed. It is based on perturbation procedure. The mentioned buckling problem can be solved using FEM. However, FEM solutions may be less manageable, for instance, in terms of optimal design, than the associated approximate analytical models. The approximate formulas obtained are sufficiently accurate and can be used in engineering practice.
