Space launcher vehicle structures are designed as thin walled cylindrical and conical structures which are prone to buckling and are sensitive towards geometrical imperfections. Small deviations in dimensions, which still are within manufacturing tolerances, may lead to a tremendous decrease in load carrying capacity. Thus, imperfections have to be considered during the design phase and this is commonly done using empirical knock down factors. Besides this approach, imperfections can be considered by applying numerical or analytical structural models. Composite materials are used to exploit the light weight potential of unstiffened thin walled structures. For this type of shell structure, the buckling load of the geometrically perfect shell and the imperfection sensitivity are significantly influenced by the laminate stacking sequence. In this paper, the influence of the laminate stacking sequence of composite shells with rotational symmetric imperfections on the buckling behavior is studied and laminate stacking sequences leading to the highest buckling loads of an imperfect shell structure are identified. These stacking sequences are evaluated further by applying non-rotational symmetric imperfections and localized imperfections and the stacking sequences leading to optimum designs of the geometrical perfect shell structure are considered as reference structures.
