A finite element (FE) buckling analysis of rotationally periodic laminated composite shells is performed in this paper. Because the buckling mode of such structures is characterized as rotationally periodic, a corresponding FE buckling analysis scheme is proposed to reduce the computational expenses. Moreover, a new kind of relative degrees-of-freedom element is developed, which can be connected to other solid elements with ease and can yield satisfactory results with a relatively coarse FE mesh. Numerical results of two laminated cylindrical shells subjected to lateral pressure are compared with theoretical ones. The good agreement of them shows the validity of this new computational strategy. Finally, a practical structure is analysed to demonstrate the advantage of this method.
