The dynamic buckling of a reactor containment vessel under earthquake conditions is evaluated using a nonlinear finite element method. It is based on the four-node MITC (mixed interpolated tensorial components) shell element originally proposed by K.J. Bathe, which has been modified by the authors to include the effect of large rotational increments. At first, the buckling modes for a thin cylindrical shell under a simplified base excitation were classified, then the dynamic buckling analysis of a typical PWR steel containment vessel was carried out, considering both geometrical and material nonlinearities, to compare the results with those of a conventional static analysis. It was found that the global shear buckling of a steel containment vessel occurred under a load level several times greater than the design earthquake, and the buckling load estimated by the conventional analysis was smaller than the buckling load estimated by the dynamic analysis.
