Finite element computer programs were developed to determine thermal stresses and metal movement during butt welding of flat plates and bead-on-plate welding along the girth of a cylindrical shell. Circular cylindrical shells of 6061 aluminum alloy were used for the tests. Measurements were made of changes in temperature and thermal strains during the welding process.
Fortran IV computer program to evaluate natural frequencies and unstable values of thrust frequency for circular cylindrical shell subjected to periodically varying end thrust
The stresses and deflections in a circular, cylindrical shell loaded at each end by a force and moment applied through rigid rings are presented. The shell may be stiffened by additional rings, and it is assumed that rapid changes in stress and deflection occur only in the axial direction in the immediate vicinity of a ring.

Prebuckling deformations effect on buckling of clamped thin walled circular cylindrical shells under axial loading and internal pressure
The present report describes tests in which the stress distribution may be determined in a stiffened circular cylindrical shell loaded longitudinally at four symmetrically situated points. As being of particular importance are the cases investigated of groups of bending and arching or convexing forces, respectively. From the stress measurements on the longitudinal stiffeners, the shear stresses and the bulkhead ring stresses in the skin could be evaluated. These measurements showed that the "simple shear field" used in theoretical computations in which all normal stresses in the skin are neglected, must be extended by the addition of the transverse or circumferential stresses if the bulkhead rings are not riveted to the skin.
This note presents closed-form solutions for axisymmetrical and axially unsymmetrical buckling of angle-ply laminated circular cylindrical shells under axial compression. The axisymmetrical and axially unsymmetrical buckling stress are found to be different from each other, and the best lamination angles which give the highest buckling stress are obtained.
Fortran IV computer program for evaluation of natural frequencies and unstable values of thrust frequency for free-free circular cylindrical shell subjected to end thrust
An exact three-dimensional analysis of wave propagation in laminated orthotropic circular cylindrical-shells is developed. Numerical results are presented for three-ply shells, and for various axial wave lengths, circumferential wave numbers, and thicknesses. Results from a thin shell theory and a refined approximate theory are compared with the exact results.
