Elastoplastic state of flexible cylindrical shells with two circular holes

The elastoplastic state of thin cylindrical shells with two equal circular holes is analyzed with allowance made for finite deflections. The shells are made of an isotropic homogeneous material. The load is internal pressure of given intensity. The distribution of stresses along the hole boundary and in the stress concentration zone (when holes are closely spaced) is analyzed by solving doubly nonlinear boundary-value problems. The results obtained are compared with the solutions that allow either for physical nonlinearity (plastic strains) or geometrical nonlinearity (finite deflections) and with the numerical solution of the linearly elastic problem. The stresses near the holes are analyzed for different distances between the holes and nonlinear factors.Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 40, No. 10, pp. 107–112, October 2004.

Stress distribution in physically and geometrically nonlinear thin cylindrical shells with two holes

The elastoplastic state of thin cylindrical shells weakened by two circular holes is analyzed. The centers of the holes are on the directrix of the shell. The shells are made of an isotropic homogeneous material and subjected to internal pressure of given intensity. The distribution of stresses along the hole boundaries and over the zone where they concentrate (when the distance between the holes is small) is analyzed using approximate and numerical methods to solve doubly nonlinear boundary-value problems. The data obtained are compared with the solutions of the physically nonlinear (plastic strains taken into account) and geometrically nonlinear (finite deflections taken into account) problems and with the numerical solution of the linearly elastic problem. The stress-strain state near the two holes is analyzed depending on the distance between them and the nonlinearities accounted for __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 11, pp. 88–95, November 2005.     

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.

Stability and limit states of elastoplastic spherical shells under static and dynamic loading

The problem of elastoplastic deformation, buckling, and postcritical behavior of spherical shells is solved using a finite element method and a cross-type explicit scheme of time integration. Stability problems for hemispherical shells under external pressure and compression between rigid plates are considered. The influence of holes and boundary conditions on shell deformation is investigated. It is shown that the calculation results are in good agreement with experimental data.

Calculation of shells with large rectangular holes in the presence of finite bending deflections

The stability of shells perforated by large holes has been investigated previously [1–6]. The results published in the cited papers lead to the conclusion that the problem of the stability of shells with large holes is in a stage of vigorous development. The application of standard numerical methods in these problems is impeded by the fact that they are incapable of refining the stress concentration and local stability in the vicinity of corners of the holes and give an approximate smoothed distribution pattern of the forces and torques. Methods of approximation of the solutions in terms of regular functions [2] are complicated by the poor convergence of the corresponding series near the edges of a hole.Structural Engineering Institute, St. Petersburg.

Nonlinear dynamic response and dynamic buckling of shallow spherical shells with circular hole

In this paper, the nonlinear equations of motion for shallow spherical shells with axisymmetric deformation including transverse shear are derived. The nonlinear static and dynamic response and dynamic buckling of shallow spherical shells with circular hole on elastically restrained edge are investigated. By using the orthogonal point collocation method for space and Newmark-β scheme for time, the displacement functions are separated and the nonlinear differential equations are replaced by linear algebraic equations to seek solutions. The numerical results are presented for different cases and compared with available data.     

Elastoplastic Deformation of Flexible Cylindrical Shells With Two Circular Holes under Axial Tension

The elastoplastic state of thin cylindrical shells with two circular holes under axial tension is analyzed considering finite deflections. The distributions of stresses along the contours of the holes and in the zone of their concentration are studied by solving doubly nonlinear boundary-value problems. The solution obtained is compared with the solutions that account for either physical nonlinearity (plastic deformations) and geometrical nonlinearity (finite deflections) alone and with a numerical solution of the linearly elastic problem. The stress-strain state near the two holes is analyzed depending on the distance between the holes and the nonlinear factors accounted for__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 5, pp. 52–57, May 2005.     

Neumann's method for boundary problems of thin elastic shells

The possibility of using Neumann's method to solve the boundary problems for thin elastic shells is studied. The variational statement of the static problems for the shells allows for a problem examination within the distribution space. The convergence of Neumann's method is proven for the shells with holes when the boundary of the domain is not completely fixed. The numerical implementation of Neumann's method normally requires significant time before any reliable results can be achieved. This paper suggests a way to improve the convergence of the process, and allows for parallel computing and evaluation during the calculations.     

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.

Buckling of cylinders with cutouts under axial compression

An experimental study was carried out to clarify the effects of circular holes on the buckling of circular cylinders under axial compression. The effect of reinforcements was also examined by placing thin annular plates around the cutouts. Tests were performed on polyester shells with radius-to-thickness ratio of 400 and 100 and with two diametrically opposed circular holes. If a hole is small enough, there are no appreciable effects on the buckling strength of the cylinder. However larger cutouts result in a significant reduction of the buckling load. When doublers are placed around the holes, the buckling load approaches the value for the complete cylinder with no cutouts as the stiffening volume increases. Paper was presented at the 1982 SESA-JSME Joint Conference held in Oahu and Maui, HI on May 23–30, 1982.
