The formulations are based on Reddy's third-order shear deformation shell theory (TSDT) with von Karman nonlinearity, Pasternak type elastic foundations and smeared stiffener technique. By applying Galerkin's method and using stress function, closed-form expressions for determining the static critical external pressure load and postbuckling load?deflection curves are determined. Finally, the influences of geometrical parameters, volume fraction index, elastic foundations, and the effectiveness of stiffeners on the stability of shells are considered.
