The buckling strength of a steel containment vessel with discontinuous stiffening rings of a nuclear power plant

A steel containment vessel of PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) has a circular cylindrical body and a hemispherical head. Since the containment vessel is a thin-walled shell structure, shear and bending buckling might occur in the cylindrical part under the seismic load which exceeds the design load....
