Abstract: The buckling of finite circular cylindrical shells with random stress-free initial displacements which are subjected to lateral or hydrostatic pressure is studied using a perturbation scheme developed in an earlier paper [1]. A simple approximate asymptotic expression is obtained for the buckling load for small magnitudes of the imperfection. This result is compared with earlier results obtained for localized imperfections and imperfections in the shape of the linear buckling mode.
