This paper investigates the influence of initial geometric defects on the ultimate load capacity and failure mode of thin-walled titanium alloy ring-ribbed cylindrical shells. The study combines key geometric parameters, including the radius-to-thickness ratio (R/t), length-to-radius ratio (L/R), and rib spacing (u), to conduct structural design calculations and analyze failure modes, supported by experimental verification. A welded model (with initial defects) and a precision-machined model (without defects) were designed and fabricated. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations were performed to obtain the structural stress distribution and critical buckling pressure at critical locations on both models. Subsequently, hydrostatic external pressure tests were conducted to evaluate the structural strength and ultimate load capacity, revealing the stress distribution characteristics, failure pressure, and failure modes of each model. By comparing the theoretical, numerical, and experimental results, the impact of initial shape defects on structural performance was assessed. This comparison provides a robust basis for the design, calculation, and evaluation of thin-walled titanium alloy ring-ribbed cylindrical shell structures.
