Hydrostatically pressurized circular rings confined to two dimensions (or cylinders constrained to have only z-independent deformations) undergo Euler type buckling when the outside pressure exceeds a critical value. We perform a stability analysis of rings with arc-length dependent bending moduli and determine how weakened bending modulus segments affect the buckling critical pressure. Rings with a 4-fold symmetric modulation are particularly susceptible to collapse. In addition we study the initial post-buckling stages of the pressurized rings to determine possible ring folding patterns.
