Abstract

This study investigates the combined effect of randomness in initial geometric imperfections and the applied loading on the reliability of axially compressed cylindrical shells. In order to gain insight we consider simplest possible case when both the initial imperfections and the applied loads are uniformly distributed. It is shown that hybrid randomness may increase or decrease the reliability of the shell if the latter is treated, experiencing the sole randomness in initial imperfections. © 2010 by ASME.
