This is a tutorial of buckling analysis of closed thin cylindrical shell filled with air. The cylindrical shell is acting as column. It means a compressive load is acting on the top of vertically standing cylindrical shell which contains air inside.

This tutorial gives an overview of the process of buckling and post buckling analysis in abaqus. To demonstrate the process, I am using a cylindrical shell. This shell stands vertical and acts as column as shown in Figure 1(a) below. Please note here that all the dimensions used here are in SI units.
