The article explores how cylindrical shells made of different materials react to pressure applied on their surfaces. A new equation was developed to predict when these shells might buckle under pressure. The formulas and results can help determine the critical loads needed to prevent buckling in orthotropic, isotropic, and composite cylindrical shells.
