针对受压球壳非线性屈曲过程,对含初始缺陷受压球壳的稳定性进行研究。根据EN1993-1-6(2007)规范,给出不同制造等级壳体的等效缺陷值计算方法;基于线性特征值分析的模态构型给出初始缺陷的分布。利用非线性有限元弧长法对球壳受压失稳过程进行数值模拟,得到屈曲前后球壳变形情况及全过程载荷-位移曲线。计算一致缺陷模态法和N阶缺陷模态法对应的球壳屈曲临界载荷,结果表明,受压球壳对缺陷较敏感,承载能力随缺陷值增大而降低;一致缺陷模态法计算便捷,在工程应用上具有合理性,N阶缺陷模态法考虑高阶模态缺陷构型,结果更加全面,可以为工程中缺陷结构稳定性设计提供参考。     

基于弧长法的受压球壳稳定性分析

对受压球壳进行特征值屈曲分析,得到了前6阶屈曲模态及线性屈曲临界载荷;采用弧长法进行非线性有限元分析,对理想球壳施加初始扰动,通过2次扰动值折半的方法求得引起结构屈曲的最小扰动值,追踪到了屈曲分支点和全过程载荷-位移路线。基于前6阶屈曲模态位移,在受压球壳中分别引入2.5mm和1mm两种缺陷值,分析缺陷对球壳屈曲特性的影响。结果表明:取壳厚的0.5%即0.05mm时,得最小扰动值,近似模型与完善结构极值载荷的差值为0.93%;球壳是缺陷敏感性结构,缺陷的幅值和分布都对其极限载荷有影响,缺陷幅值与厚度比为0.1时,缺陷球壳承载力相对理想结构下降了约11%,缺陷幅值与厚度比为0.25时,承载力相对下降了约30%,说明提高球壳稳定性需要提高球壳加工精度。

Dynamic Elastic Buckling of Complete Spherical Shells with Initial Imperfections∗

The dynamic elastic buckling behavior of a geometrically imperfect complete spherical shell that is subjected to a uniform external step pressure is examined using Sander's equilibrium and kinematic equations, appropriately modified to include the influence of inertia forces and initial stress-free imperfections in the radius. A finite-difference procedure with either the Houbolt or Park methods of time integration is used to predict the axisym-metric dynamic elastic buckling pressures and associated critical mode numbers. The dynamic buckling pressure is significantly smaller than the corresponding static value for small initial imperfections, but is less imperfection     

On The Elastic Stability of Thin Shells

A general method for The evaluation of the effect of shape imperfections on the buckling strength of thin shells and thin-shell-like structures is presented. At first the prebuckiing equilibrium state of the structure is determined by means of power series expansions in the magnitude of the shape imperfection. Then the buckling load is determined by means of the classical theory of stability. The method requires the solution of only linear equations with linear boundary conditions. It is equally well applicable to any pattern of shape imperfections and can give an estimate of the accuracy of the evaluation.     

Experimental investigation of the buckling of shallow spherical shells

In the present paper, the buckling behavior of clamped thin shallow spherical shells under external pressure is studied. Seventy-nine plastic shells formed by thermovacuum process were tested. The distributions of initial geometrical imperfections and vertical displacements were minutely measured with a differential transformer. It was possible to control the symmetrical initial geometrical imperfection of each specimen.Results indicate that the buckling phenomena of shallow spherical shells vary greatly with the symmetrical initial imperfection parameter η. In the case of the geometrical parameter λ larger than 5.5, the amplitude of the asymmetrical displacement component with the bifurcation buckling wave calculated by Huang becomes large immediately before buckling. The validity of Huang's theory for an initially perfect shell is experimentally demonstrated.     

Effects of uni-directional geometric imperfections on vibrations of pressurized shallow spherical shells

This paper deals with the effects of initial geometric uni-directional imperfections on vibrations of a pressurized spherical shell or spherical cap. The analysis is based upon shallow shell theory. Frequency vs applied pressure interaction curves are plotted for various values of the imperfection amplitude. Imperfections are shown to have a severe effect in reducing the natural frequencies similar to that demonstrated in the buckling behavior of spherical shells.     

On stability of cylindrical shells of variable thickness with initial imperfections

The paper outlines a numerical method for stability analysis of cylindrical shells with initial imperfections. We solve a nonlinear buckling problem for a cylindrical shell with variable wall thickness under surface pressure. The imperfections of the shell are modeled as the first buckling mode. A probabilistic approach is used to determine the reliability against buckling of the cylindrical shell with the probability density of initial imperfections represented by uniform distribution, triangular distribution, or Gaussian distribution     

Buckling load of non-linear systems with multiple eigenvalues

For structural systems with a coincident lowest eigenvalue λ_c, the influence of imperfections on the buckling of the systems depends to a very large extent upon the distribution of the imperfections. Moreover, the system may buckle either at a limit point or at a bifurcation point before this limit point is reached. Considering both possibilities, a lower bound to the buckling load of the system, for a given root mean square of the imperfections, is obtained. Furthermore, with reference to a set of particular, normalized co-ordinates, it was found that the absolute minimum buckling load is given by an imperfection vector parallel to the steepest of all post-buckling paths intersecting at λ_c. At this absolute minimum buckling load the critical point is a limit point. As an example, the lower bound to the buckling load of an imperfect cylindrical shell under axial compression was calculated.     

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.     

Influence of extra terms on asymptotic analysis of imperfection sensitivity of toroidal shell segment with random imperfection

The bifurcation of a toroidal shell segment with initial imperfection which are subjected to lateral or hydrostatic pressure is studied under the assumption that the initial imperfection are Gaussian random stress-free displacement whose mean and autocorrelation function are given. We use a perturbation scheme developed by Amazigo [Amazigo, J.C., 1971. Buckling of stochastically imperfect columns on nonlinear elastic foundation. Quart. Appl. Math. 403–491]. A simple approximate asymptotic expression is obtained for the bifurcation load for small magnitudes of the imperfection. The result is compared with results obtained earlier under secondary bifurcation analysis for the imperfections in the shape of the buckling mode and the results in the literature, which shows some significant differences as a result of inclusion of extra terms in the buckling equation.
