Abstract
The strength of a circular, cylindrical sandwich shell subjected to hy drostatic pressure is examined. An energy methodology appropriate for static analysis of sandwich shells is presented. Interactions of the i nner and outer shell with the core stiffeners interconnecting these sh ells are investigated. Numerical results are discussed, together with comparisons between the sandwich shell and alternative designs.
