    Any formulas for reinforced shells under external pressure?

    Hi, I was wondering if any of you know of a reference where the buckling of conical, ellipsoidal, ... shells reinforced with strenghtening ribs under the influence of external pressure is covered. Thank you in advance for any useful references Dimitri

    External pressure - Linking FEA and EN codes?

    Thanks doct9960 and prex for your comments. I have to agree that the FEA will do no good unless I introduce a safety factor of at least 2.2/0.365 = 6 since a linear buckling analysis will approximately yield the same results as the classical formula. Delving into experimental literature I have...

    External pressure - Linking FEA and EN codes?

    Hi everybody, I am currently performing a finite element analysis of a tank for the transport of dangerous goods according to EN 13094. As these kinds of FEA (where you have to adhere to a code) are not my daily routine I am having some trouble interpreting the EN 13094 code. I can follow most...
