One of the common failure modes of thin cylindrical shell subjected to external pressure is buckling. The buckling pressure of these shell structures are dominantly affected by the geometrical imperfections present in the cylindrical shell which are very difficult to alleviate during manufacturing process. Dent is one of the common geometrical imperfections present in thin shell structures which may be formed due to mechanical damage caused by accidental loading or impact. In this work, influence of various dent parameters (dent length, dent width, dent depth and angle of orientation of the dent) on the critical buckling pressure of thin cylindrical shells with a centrally located dent is studied using non-linear static finite-element analysis of ANSYS under external pressure with simply supported boundary conditions at the top and bottom edges of the thin cylindrical shell.
