Stresses in shallow axisymmetric shells using a casting procedure

Normal and radial displacements of a shallow thin sheil of revolution are related by theoretical considerations. Radial displacements are calculated from slope measurements on the generatrices of the initial shell surface (before loading) and of the final shell surface (after loading). Membrane and bending stresses over the entire shell surface are then computed from the measured slope values and the calculated radial displacements. A measuring technique is developed which is especially suitable for shallow shells enclosed in small spaces. It consists mainly of making a cast of the initial and final shell surface using an epoxy platic. The disklike cast is cut along its diameter. The slope values are measured optically along the line which is formed by the intersection of the cutting plane with the deflection surface. The method is applied to a shallow thin shell of revolution in contact with a concentric piston and to a clamped circular plate, both experiencing large axisymmetric deflection.     

A technique for generating shear waves in cylindrical shells under radial impact

Experimental techniques are developed to study and measure the shear-wave velocity in an aluminum cylindrical shell subjected to a radial impact. The radial impact is obtained by exploding an electrical detonator inserted in plastic plugs mounted on the end of the shell. Strain gages, mounted on the outside surface of the shell at various axial locations, are used to obtain oscilloscope traces from which the shear-wave velocity can be calculated.     

Postbuckling of FGM cylindrical shells under combined axial and radial mechanical loads in thermal environments

A postbuckling analysis is presented for a shear deformable functionally graded cylindrical shell of finite length subjected to combined axial and radial loads in thermal environments. Heat conduction and temperature-dependent material properties are both taken into account. The temperature field considered is assumed to be a uniform distribution over the shell surface and varied in the thickness direction only. Material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent, and graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The formulations are based on a higher order shear deformation shell theory with von Kármán–Donnell-type of kinematic nonlinearity. A boundary layer theory of shell buckling, which includes the effects of nonlinear prebuckling deformations, large deflections in the postbuckling range, and initial geometric imperfections of the shell, is extended to the case of functionally graded cylindrical shells. A singular perturbation technique is employed to determine the interactive buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations concern the postbuckling response of perfect and imperfect cylindrical shells with two constituent materials subjected to combined axial and radial mechanical loads and under different sets of thermal environments. The results reveal that the temperature field and volume fraction distribution have a significant effect on the postbuckling behavior, but they have a small effect on the imperfection sensitivity of the functionally graded shell.     

Measurement of radial deformations in thin-walled cylinders

This paper presents a technique for measuring deflections in cylinders. It is based on the Ligtenberg moiré technique which produces fringes that are contours of surface slope. To use the technique in measuring slopes in a cylinder surface, the optical system is modified so that the cylindrical coordinates of the test piece are transformed to a flat polar plot for photographing.

Surface free energy effects on the postbuckling behavior of cylindrical shear deformable nanoshells under combined axial and radial compressions

In the traditional continuum mechanics, the effects of surface free energy are generally ignored. However, this cannot be the case for nanostructures because of their high surface to volume ratio; surface energy plays an important role in the mechanical responses. In the present study, the nonlinear buckling and postbuckling characteristics of cylindrical nanoshells subjected to combined axial and radial compressions are investigated in the presence of surface energy effects. To this end, Gurtin–Murdoch elasticity theory is implemented into the classical first-order shear deformation shell theory to develop an efficient size-dependent shell model incorporating surface free energy effects. Subsequently, a boundary layer theory is employed including surface effects in conjunction with the nonlinear prebuckling deformations, the large postbuckling deflections and the initial geometric imperfection. Finally, a solution methodology based on a two-stepped singular perturbation technique is utilized to obtain the size-dependent critical buckling loads and equilibrium postbuckling paths corresponding to the both axial dominated and radial dominated loading cases. It is observed that for the both axial dominated and radial dominated loading cases, surface free energy effects cause to increase the both critical buckling load and critical end-shortening of shear deformable nanoshell made of silicon.

An exact solution for the steady-state thermoelastic response of functionally graded orthotropic cylindrical shells

We analyze the steady-state response of a functionally graded thick cylindrical shell subjected to thermal and mechanical loads. The functionally graded shell is simply supported at the edges and it is assumed to have an arbitrary variation of material properties in the radial direction. The three-dimensional steady-state heat conduction and thermoelasticity equations, simplified to the case of generalized plane strain deformations in the axial direction, are solved analytically. Suitable temperature and displacement functions that identically satisfy the boundary conditions at the simply supported edges are used to reduce the thermoelastic equilibrium equations to a set of coupled ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients, which are then solved by the power series method. In the present formulation, the cylindrical shell is assumed to be made of an orthotropic material, although the analytical solution is also valid for isotropic materials. Results are presented for two-constituent isotropic and fiber-reinforced functionally graded shells that have a smooth variation of material volume fractions, and/or in-plane fiber orientations, through the radial direction. The cylindrical shells are also analyzed using the Flügge and the Donnell shell theories. Displacements and stresses from the shell theories are compared with the three-dimensional exact solution to delineate the effects of transverse shear deformation, shell thickness and angular span.     

爆炸加载下装配垫片对金属柱壳膨胀断裂影响研究

采用多普勒光纤探针测速技术（Doppler pins system，DPS，又称全光纤位移干涉测速技术）和高速摄影技术，研究装配垫片对金属柱壳膨胀断裂的影响，获得了有无垫片对应柱壳外表面位置的速度曲线和垫片对柱壳膨胀断裂影响明显的高速摄影图像。实验结果表明:与无垫片区域相比，垫片区域的柱壳外表面经历了先凸起后内凹的过程，导致垫片对应柱壳的径向运动位移发生反复错位，最终低于无垫片区域约0.34 mm，该位移差可能导致柱壳发生径向剪切断裂；实验结果还表明，在垫片与间隙交界处两侧（沿垫片方向约7.5°、沿间隙方向约9°）处各增加了一条裂纹，该断裂模式既不同于环向拉伸断裂，也不同于45°的剪切断裂，而是由垫片/间隙边界产生的两束稀疏应力波传到柱壳外表面引起的扰动影响所致，这个新的断裂模式与柱壳材料的动态力学性能密切相关。数值模拟结果表明，装配垫片对柱壳断裂机制影响不仅包含该处附加的质量效应，还应考虑炸药通过垫片后作用在柱壳上的冲击加载幅值变化、冲击加载时序与其他部位不同步的差异，以及垫片/间隙交界处引起的表面波传播对柱壳断裂模式的后续发展行为的影响。     

Analysis for the thermoelastic bending of a functionally graded material cylindrical shell

An analytic study for thermoelastic bending of a functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical shell subjected to a uniform transverse mechanical load and non-uniform thermal loads is presented. Based on the classical linear shell theory, the equations with the radial deflection and horizontal displacement are derived out. An arbitrary material property of the FGM cylindrical shell is assumed to vary through the thickness of the cylindrical shell, and exact solution of the problem is obtained by using an analytic method. For the FGM cylindrical shell with fixed and simply supported boundary conditions, the effects of mechanical load, thermal load and the power law exponent on the deformation of the FGM cylindrical shell are analyzed and discussed.

Effects of the curvature radius of a cylindrical shell on the stress intensity factors of surface cracks

The effects of the curvature radius of a cylindrical shell on stress intensity factors are investigated in circumferential (inner and outer) semielliptical surface cracks in a cylindrical shell. What is new in this paper is to have given: (1) The stress intensity factors for surface cracks in a cylindircal shell are determined by photoelastic technique. (2) By a special method photoelastic slices are handled for obtaining a clear caustic curve, and the stress intensity factors for surface cracks in a cylindrical shell are determined by the caustic method. (3) An approximate equation of curvature correction factor F_c is proposed. (4) Effects of the curvature radius R of a cylindrical shell on the stress intensity factors of surface cracks are obtained. The results of this paper are in fair agreement with already existing analytical results. The approximate equation of curvature correction factor F_c can be widely used for engineering purposes.

VIBRATIONS OF CIRCULAR CYLINDRICAL SHELLS WITH NONUNIFORM CONSTRAINTS,ELASTIC BED AND ADDED MASS. PART II: SHELLS CONTAINING OR IMMERSED IN AXIAL FLOW

The model introduced in Part I of the present study is extended to take into account a flowing fluid, a mean radial pressure and initial pre-stress in circular cylindrical shells. The axial flow can be external, internal or annular and is described by the potential theory for inviscid and incompressible fluid. The computer program DIVA has been developed. It takes into account all the following complicating effects on the vibrations of circular cylindrical shells: (i) nonuniform boundary conditions around the shell edges including elastic boundary conditions; (ii) fluid–structure interaction including both flowing and quiescent fluids; (iii) internal, external and annular fluids; (iv) effect of a mean radial pressure and initial pre-stress; (v) elastic bed of partial extension in circumferential and longitudinal directions; (vi) intermediate constraints; (vii) added masses. It can be considered the most complete computer program specifically dedicated to dynamics of circular cylindrical shells. The Flügge theory of shells is used to describe the shell deformations. The system has been proved to be conservative for any combination of boundary conditions with restrained displacement at the shell ends. Numerical results show that shells clamped at the upstream end and simply supported at the downstream end have a larger critical velocity than simply supported shells, solving the paradox of Horáček and Zolotarev.

Holographic interferometry applied to the solution of a shell problem

Two methods of holographic interferometry were applied to measure the displacements of the surface of a cylindrical shell clamped at both ends and subjected to a single radial load. In the first method the multiple-hologram technique was applied. Holograms were taken separately and the total span of the shell was recorded in separate holograms. Collimated illumination was utilized and the reconstruction pictures were taken far away from the location of the virtual image. In the second method, a modified single-hologram technique was utilized. Multiple points of observation in the plane of the hologram were employed to provide a way to minimize random errors. The first method proved to be adequate to measure displacements comprised between 10^?4 to 10^?5 in. The second method yielded results one order of magnitude better.

Application of the moiré method for use with cylindrical surfaces

The paper describes how the Moiré reflective technique can be used to determine transverse-bending moments in a cylindrical shell. A cylindrical screen is used and the pattern of lines on it is reflected in the shell which acts as a lens and reduces the apparent pitch. When a photograph of the unloaded shell is considered, the lines on the negative are found to vary only slightly in width so that within the limits of movement of the ray reflected from the shell the pitch can be considered uniform. Loading the shell alters its radius and this alters the pitch of the lines as they appear on the photographic plate. It is shown that this change in line width does not affect the fringe pattern. Since the length of the reflected ray increases at distances away from the center of the photograph, a correction has to be applied to fringes at these points to obtain the correct change of slope. Photographs of the fringe pattern are obtained for various angular positions round the shell and, from these photographs, graphs of fringe against position round the shell are plotted. After correction, the slope of these graphs allows the bending moment at a point to be calculated. It is noted that transverse and radial deflections can influence the fringe pattern and this is allowed for. By taking photographs of the unloaded shell and measuring the widths of lines on the negative, the radius of the shell can be calculated and compared with spherometer readings. Knowing the bending moment at a point, the change in radius is calculated and the calculated final radius compared with that obtained from measurements on the separate photograph of the loaded shell. Finally, the deflections on the transverse center line are calculated from the fringe patterns and compared with deflection-gage readings.
