Delaminations may reduce the buckling load of the laminated structure greatly. In this paper, various examples were analyzed by using the model in part I. First, by comparing with the results of the classical theory and first-order shear-deformation theory, the model was validated and the usable range of each theory was pointed out. Three different buckling modes of delaminated shell were considered. The influence of different ratios of radius to thickness, boundary condition and length, depth and position of the delamination on the buckling load was analyzed. Finally, the buckling analysis of delaminated orthotropic shell and the influences of ply orientation of the material on the buckling load of a delaminated shell were given.
