Nonlinear Stability of Natural-Fiber-Reinforced Composite Cylindrical Shells with Initial Geometric Imperfection Considering Moisture Absorption and Hygrothermal Aging

In this paper, the nonlinear stability of a natural-fiber-reinforced composite cylindrical shell with initial geometric imperfection is investigated. The nonlinear governing equations are established by high-order shear deformation theory. The load-edge shortening curves for different imperfection a...
