(1) The following rules apply to uniform unstiffened cylindrical shells subjected to uniform global bending.(2) The rules are limited to the ranges given by: (E.1)A.1.1.2 NotationIn this subclause the following notation is used (FigureE.1):FigureE.1Cylinder under global bending r is the radius of the cylinder middle surface; t is the uniform thickness of the cylinder; L is the length of the cylinder; M is the uniform bending moment acting on the cylinder. A.1.1.3 Boundary conditions(1) The rules given here are strictly applicable to cylinders with fixed end boundary conditions BC1r. Cylinders with BC1f may also be treated if the dimensionless length ? is greater than 5.A.1.1.4 Loading conditions(1) The following rules apply to uniform global bending characterized by the moment M (FigureE.1).
