The present paper is a review article on the problem of buckling of moderately thick, laminated, composite
shells subjected to destabilizing loads. The loads consist of uniform pression, uniform lateral
pressure and torsion applied individually or bination. In all the works reported in the literature, the
analysis is based on higher-order shear deformation (HOSD) shell theory and/or first-order shear
deformation (FOSD) shell theory with or without a shear correction factor. Results obtained by these two
shell theories and by employing classical thin shell theory pared to determine the range of
applicability of each in predicting critical conditions. The effect of stacking sequence, radius-to-thickness
ratio and length-to-radius ratio is assessed. Typical numerical results are presented in tabular form.
Moreover, some limited results, which are based on limit point analysis are also presented (imperfection
sensitivity studies). Copyright 0 1996 Elsevier Science Limited
