  4. Abstract:
  5. In the present investigation, the buckling of generally laminated conical shells with various boundary conditions subjected to axial pressure is studied using an analytical approach. The governing equations are obtained using classical shell theory with Donnell assumptions in strain–deformation relations and the principle of minimum potential energy. The differential equations are solved using trigonometric functions in circumferential and power series in longitudinal directions. All types of boundary conditions can be applied in this method. The results are compared and validated with the results available in the literature, and good agreement is observed. Finally, the effects of the length, semi-vertex angle, and lamination sequences on the buckling load and mode shapes of generally laminated conical shells are presented
