A Buckling Analysis and Optimization Method for a Variable Stiffness Cylindrical Pressure Shell of AUV

The composite cylindrical shell pressure structure is widely used for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). To analyze the critical buckling problem of variable stiffness (VS) composite pressure structure of AUV, a discrete finite element (DFE) method based on the curve fiber path function is develop...
