Stressed state of a composite cylindrical shell with an elliptical hole

The results of investigations of the stress-strained state (SSS) of isotropic cylindrical shells with an elliptical hole are represented in monograph [4]. The modified method of expansion in terms of minor parameter [3] is suggested for calculation of orthotropic shells. The method does not consider, however, lateral shear strains introducing a significant contribution in SSS of composite shells. The procedure for solving problems of SSS calculation near curvilinear holes in shells of arbitrary shape with variable geometrical and physical characteristics is suggested in [1] on the basis of variational-difference method (VDM). Here the relations of the linear theory of anisotropic inhomogeneous shells and the hypothesis of a straight line are taken as the initial ones for all the packet of laminated composite shell as a whole. In the present work we present the numerical results obtained according to the procedure given in [1] for an orthotropic cylindrical shell with an elliptical hole loaded by the axial force and complaint for the lateral shear.S.

Analyzing the stress–strain state of thick cylindrical shells

Two approaches to the analysis of the stress–strain state of thick cylindrical shells are elaborated. The shell is divided by concentric cross-sectional circles into several coaxial cylindrical shells. Each of these shells has its own curvature determined on its midline. The stress–strain state of the original shell is described by satisfying the interface conditions between the component shells. The distribution of unknown functions throughout the thickness is determined by finding the analytic solution of a system of differential equations in the first approach and is approximated by polynomial functions in the second approach. The stress–strain state of thick shells is analyzed. It is revealed that the effect of reduction becomes stronger with increasing curvature

Analysis of the stress state of a flattened conical shell of moderate thickness with a structurally weakening hole

Conclusions We determined the relationship between the nature of the stress distribution on the hole surface in a flexible plate as a function of thickness. We observed a great difference between the stress densities in flattened, thin and moderate-thickness conical shells and the stress concentrations near holes in thin cylindrical shells and thin, almost cylindrical, conical shells. The stress distribution near the hole in flattened conical shells of moderate thickness is similar to the stress distribution near the holes in flexible, thick plates. During loading of conical shells by an axial force, the lowest stress concentration factor near the holes is obtained when the axis of the hole is parallel to the shell axis. As the thickness of the shell is increased, the stress concentration factor near the holes increases.Kiev University. Ukrainian Institute of Water Management Engineers, Rovno.

Statement of the problem of intraocular pressure measurement modeling by a pneumotonometric method

The process of intraocular pressure measurement by an optical analyzer is numerically modeled. The cornea and sclera are treated as axially symmetric deformable shells of revolution rigidly fixed along the edges; the space between the shells is filled with an incompressible liquid. The stress-strain state of the cornea and sclera is described by using a nonlinear theory of shells. The optical system is calculated on the basis of concepts of geometrical optics. Two types of boundary conditions are compared; for each of them, the relation between the pressure in the air jet and the area of the surface from which the reflected light is recorded by the photodetector is analyzed.
