Minimum weight design of stiffened cylinders is of fundamental importance in design of launch vehicles; since such structures are susceptible to compressive loads, they tend to fail due to instability rather than yielding; hence, minimum weight design of these cylinders may be governed by stability considerations rather than yielding; theoretical predictions have shown that both stiffener eccentricity and stiffener location have considerable influence on buckling stress of stiffened cylinders; hence, rigorous approach to minimum weight design of stiffened cylinders must take into account influence of stiffener eccentricity and location.
