AB The contribution of the paper is to determine the critical compressive force for a thin-walled cylindrical shell made of aluminium alloy. The solution of the problem involves use of the experimental method. A numerical approach, based on the finite strip method is chosen as the verification step. In order to determine the critical force, specimens representing a cylindrical thin-walled shell are used. Subsequently, the results obtained by the finite strip method are checked by experimental measurements.
