Abstract: A circumferential rib-stiffened hollow cylinder and method for fabrication thereof featuring construction of the cylinder from complementarily shaped nestled prefabricated rings and resultant circumferential ribs which are integral with the rest of the cylinder. In one embodiment ring sections which are "L"-shaped in cross-section are axially and sequentially mated; ring sections which are "U"-shaped are axially and correspondingly integrated therewith, therein for a cylinder having internal circumferential ribs and thereout for a cylinder having external circumferential ribs. The dominant load path for the cylinder is through the reinforced cylinder elements, and the cylinder's wall-thickness-to-diameter ratio is effectively reduced, thereby allowing radial reinforcement of the ribs, reducing residual stresses and increasing strength; these advantages are especially significant for cylinders which are composite or are to be subjected to hydrostatic pressure.

The inner surface is formed in part by a lattice of root guiding recesses, at least some of the recesses being of substantially truncated conical form having a wall which converges towards a hole through the strip. The outer surface is formed in part by a lattice of protruberances at the same relative positional arrangement as the recesses so that when the strip is arranged in a cylinder with its opposite ends overlapping, the protruberances on the outer surface of one end nest within the recesses on the inner surface of the other end at the overlap. Fastening means is provided to hold the strip in that overlapping, nested engagement.
