In order to specify the accuracy of the cylindrical shell theories, several cylindrical shell equations are studied. Cheng's equation is used as the exact theory for circular cylindrical shells. An error factor is defined and used for the measure of the accuracy in various cylindrical shell theories. The line load applied along generators of a thin-walled circular cylidrical shell of finite length is investigated as a numerical example. These numerical results show that Cheng's equation is used for the fundamental cylindrical shell equation and the difficulties in cumputation by a digital computer are same as the simplified equations, such as Donnell's Morley's, and Vlasov's equations.

Residual stresses and deformations due to welding have effects on the strength of structures. In this paper, the compressive strength of basic welded structures is studied and the effects of the residual stresses and deformations on the compressive strength of beams, plates and shells are investigated,. Theoretical analysis for the basic structures is carried out and simplified methods to calculate the compressive strength are proposed. The proposed methods yield simple formulas to calculate the compressive strength, of which results are much helpful. The accuracy of the proposed method is revealed by comparison with experimental results.
