A design catalogue supporting the selection of design approaches for axial loaded cylindrical thin-walled CFRP shells

This catalogue was developed as part of Tobias Hartwich's dissertation at the TUHH. The dissertation concerns the support of the design of thin-walled cylindrical CFRP shells under axial compressive load. This interactive catalogue was drawn up to enable better selection of a design approaches for axial loaded thin-walled cylindircal CFRP shells. The assessment of the individual designs is based on the shells available in the literature since 2000 and the shells tested as part of the thesis and in [Har23] and [Har24], in particular. The catalogue is intentionally structured in such a way that it can be expanded to include further approaches. Individual design approaches can also be assessed again if new cylinder data is available on which an assessment can be conducted.
