A thin ring or cylinder with two hinges is buckled by external pressure. The buckling pressure is determined as a function or spacing between the hinges. In certain instances two hinges may be more stable than a single hinge. Optimum spacing is one quarter of the perimeter where the buckling pressure is as high as the ring without hinges.
