Launch-vehicle shell structures, which can be comprised of both cylindrical and conical sections, are known to be susceptible to buckling due to their large radius-to-thickness ratios. The advancements in composite manufacturing and numerical methods have enabled designers to con

A subscale solid laminate composite cylinder with a 31.5-in. diameter, a 48.2-in. length, and a [23/0/-23]4S layup was designated NDL-1 and was designed to fail in buckling after a series of subcritical tests. NDL-1 was experimentally loaded in axial compression until buckling at
