Unstiffened lightweight cylinders are especially interesting for the space industry where high requirements in terms of controlling uncertainties and weight have to be met. Due to lack of experimental data, a deterministic design method based on a data basis containing only metallic cylinders is currently employed. Metallic cylinders show different characteristics as compared to cylinders made of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) and hence the applicability of this method is restricted and the margin of safety achieved is unknown at early design stages. Within this thesis, 11 CFRP cylinders of equal layup are tested in axial compression and extensive measurements are taken on the micro, meso and macro level. These are used to develop...
