对含有初始轴对称凹陷的圆柱壳在轴向载荷作用下的稳定承载能力进行了研究。首先,通过实验研究,得到了不同凹陷参数及不同壳长条件下的临界载荷。同时,不考虑凹陷成形过程,仅把凹陷部分当做结构的不规则变化时,对含有凹陷圆柱壳建立三维有限元模型进行稳定性分析。在分析中考虑了初始缺陷(圆柱壳成形加工中的不平直度、椭圆度、初始弯曲等因素引起)幅值f0=0.1t和f0=0.2t(t为壳体壁厚),得到了不同凹陷参数及不同壳长的临界载荷。结果表明:含有凹陷圆柱壳稳定承载能力对初始缺陷不太敏感,即:初始缺陷与凹陷相比,对稳定承载能力的影响极小。数值计算结果与实验结果吻合较好,共同给出了含有初始轴对称凹陷圆柱壳的承载能力随凹陷幅值、长度及圆柱壳长度的变化而改变的规律。

Effect of multiple localized geometric imperfections on stability of thin axisymmetric cylindrical shells under axial compression

Stability of imperfect elastic cylindrical shells which are subjected to uniform axial compression is analyzed by using the finite element method. Multiple interacting localized axisymmetric initial geometric imperfections, having either triangular or wavelet shapes, were considered. The effect of a single localized geometric imperfection was analyzed in order to assess the most adverse configuration in terms of shell aspect ratios. Then two or three geometric imperfections of a given shape and which were uniformly distributed along the shell length were introduced to quantify their global effect on the shell buckling strength. It was shown that with two or three interacting geometric imperfections further reduction of the buckling load is obtained. In the ranges of parameters that were investigated, the imperfection wavelength was found to be the major factor influencing shell stability; it is followed by the imperfection amplitude, then by the interval distance separating the localized imperfections. In a wide range of parameters this last factor was recognized to have almost no effect on buckling stresses.     

Thermo-mechanical post-buckling of FGM cylindrical panels with temperature-dependent properties

This paper presents thermo-mechanical post-buckling analysis of cylindrical panels that are made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) with temperature-dependent thermo-elastic properties that are graded in the direction of thickness according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The panel is initially stressed by an axial load, and is then subjected to a uniform temperature change. The theoretical formulations are based on the classical shell theory with von-Karman–Donnell-type nonlinearity. The effect of initial geometric imperfection is also included. A differential quadrature (DQ) based semi-analytical method combined with an iteration process is employed to predict the critical buckling load (where it is applicable) and to trace the post-buckling equilibrium path of FGM cylindrical panels under thermo-mechanical loading. Numerical results are presented for panels with silicon nitride and nickel as the ceramic and metal constituents. The effects of temperature-dependent properties, volume fraction index, axial load, initial imperfection, panel geometry and boundary conditions on the thermo-mechanical post-buckling behavior are evaluated in detail through parametric studies.     

Optimization of cylindrical shells with compliant cores

Thin-walled, cylindrical structures are found extensively in both engineering components and in nature. The weight to load bearing ratio is a critical element of design of such structures in a variety of engineering applications, including space shuttle fuel tanks, aircraft fuselages, and offshore oil platforms. In nature, thin-walled cylindrical structures are often supported by a honeycomb- or foam-like cellular core, as for example, in plant stems, porcupine quills, or hedgehog spines. Previous studies have suggested that a compliant core increases the buckling resistance of a cylindrical shell over that of a hollow cylinder of the same weight. In this paper, we extend the linear-elastic buckling theory by coupling it with basic plasticity theory to provide a more comprehensive analysis of isotropic, cylindrical shells with compliant cores. We examine the optimal design of a thin-walled cylinder with a compliant core, of given radius and specified materials, for a prescribed load bearing capacity in axial compression. The analysis gives the values of the shell thickness, the core thickness, and the core density that maximize the load bearing capacity of the shell with a compliant core over an equivalent weight hollow shell. The analysis also identifies the optimum ratio of the core modulus to the shell modulus and is supported by a Lagrangian optimization technique. The analysis further discusses the selection of materials in the design of a cylinder with a compliant core, identifying the most suitable material combinations. The performance of a cylinder with a compliant core is compared with competing designs (optimized hat-stiffened shell and optimized sandwich-wall shell). Finally, the challenges associated with achieving the optimal design in practice are discussed, and the potential for practical implementation is explored.     

Thermomechanical postbuckling of composite laminated cylindrical shells with local geometric imperfections

The effect of local geometric imperfections on the buckling and postbuckling of composite laminated cylindrical shells subjected to combined axial compression and uniform temperature loading was investigated. The two cases of compressive postbuckling of initially heated shells and of thermal postbuckling of initially compressed shells are considered. The formulations are based on a boundary layer theory of shell buckling, which includes the effects of the nonlinear prebuckling deformation, the nonlinear large deflection in the postbuckling range and the initial geometric imperfection of the shell. The analysis uses a singular perturbation technique to determine buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths. Numerical examples are presented that relate to the performances of cross-ply laminated cylindrical shells with or without initial local imperfections, from which results for isotropic cylindrical shells follow as a limiting case. Typical results are presented in dimensionless graphical form for different parameters and loading conditions.
