METHOD OF GREEN＇S FUNCTION OF CORRUGATED SHELLS

By using the fundamental equations of axisymmetric shallow shells of revolution, the nonlinear bending of a shallow corrugated shell with taper under arbitrary load has been investigated. The nonlinear boundary value problem of the corrugated shell was reduced to the nonlinear integral equations by using the method of Green＇s function. To solve the integral equations, expansion method was used to obtain Green＇s function. Then the integral equations were reduced to the form with degenerate core by expanding Green＇s function as series of characteristic function. Therefore, the integral equations become nonlinear algebraic equations. Newton＇ s iterative method was utilized to solve the nonlinear algebraic equations. To guarantee the convergence of the iterative method, deflection at center was taken as control parameter. Corresponding loads were obtained by increasing deflection one by one. As a numerical example,elastic characteristic of shallow corrugated shells with spherical taper was studied.Calculation results show that characteristic of corrugated shells changes remarkably. The snapping instability which is analogous to shallow spherical shells occurs with increasing load if the taper is relatively large. The solution is close to the experimental results.     

Stress energy minimization as a tool in the material layout design of shallow shells

The present research deals with the compliance minimization problem of an elastic thin shallow shell subjected to simultaneous in-plane and bending loads. In this context, our goal is to lay out a given amount of material in the volume of a shell assuming that the distribution in the direction transversal to its middle surface S is homogeneous. The discussion hence reduces to the question of finding the optimal material arrangement on S. Similar problems were solved in the framework of two dimensional elasticity or Kirchhoff plate theory and the present research attempts to generalize these results. Following the pattern emerging from the above mentioned considerations, our research starts from the minimum compliance problem of a structure made of two elastic materials whose volumetric fractions are fixed. The existence of a solution to thus posed optimization task is guaranteed if the fine-scale microstructural composites are admitted in the analysis. Their constitutive tensors can be obtained by certain averaging ensuing from the theory of homogenization for periodic media. Additionally, by the Castigliano Theorem, the compliance minimization problem is equivalent to the one for structural stress energy. In turn, the lower estimation of the energy is achieved in two steps: (i) its modification by a certain energy-like functional, and (ii) utilizing the quasiconvexity property of thus obtained expression. As a result, formulae describing the effective stress energy of one-material shallow shell and the material distribution function are explicitly derived.

Effect of transverse shear and material orthotropy in a cracked spherical cap

The elastostatic problem for a relatively thin-walled spherical cap containing a through crack is considered. The problem is formulated for a specially orthotropic material within the confines of a linearized, shallow shell theory. The theory used is equivalent to Reissner's theory of flat plates and hence permits the consideration of all five physical conditions on the shell boundaries separately. The solution of the problem is reduced to that of a pair of singular integral equations and the asymptotic stress state around the crack tips is investigated. The numerical solution of the problem is given for an isotropic shell and for two specially orthotropic shells. The results indicate that the material orthotropy as well as the shell curvature and thickness may have a considerable effect on the stress intensity factors at the crack tips.

The stability problem of a shallow sandwich shell of conical segment shape, subjected to uniform external pressure and compression along generators is analysed based on the finitedeformation theory. With the help of the Ritz method the system of five non-linear, heterogeneous equations is obtained. They are the basic equations of elastic stability of the shell under consideration. The results of numerical calculations are presented in diagrams, which show the influence of basic mechanical properties and geometric parameters of the shell on the value of the upper and lower critical load.     

Torsion of a cylinder with a shallow external crack

The torsional problem of a finite elastic cylinder with a circumferential edge crack is studied in this paper. An efficient solution to the problem is achieved by using a new form of regularization applied to dual Dini series equations. Unlike the Srivastav approach, this regularization transforms dual equations into a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind given on the crack surface. Hence, exact asymptotic expansions of the Fredholm equation solution, the stress intensity factor and the torque are derived for the case of a shallow crack. The asymptotic expansions are certain power-logarithmic series of the normalized crack depth. Coefficients of these series are found from recurrent relations. Calculations for a shallow crack manifest that the stress intensity factor exhibits the rather weak dependence upon the cylinder length when the torque is fixed and the triple length is larger than the diameter.     

Fracture mechanics analysis of curved stiffened panels using BEM

A dual boundary element method is developed for a analysis of reinforced cracked shallow shells. Boundary integral equations are derived from the Betti’s reciprocal theorem for a cracked shallow shell with transverse frames and longitudinal stiffeners. The effect of frames and stiffeners are treated as a distribution of line body forces. The radial basis function is used to transform domain integrals to boundary integrals. Stress intensity factors are evaluated from crack opening displacements. The effect of curvature on the stress intensity factors is illustrated by numerical examples. Three examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of this method compared with solutions obtained using the finite element method.     

集中载荷作用下具有光滑中心波纹膜片的非线性分析

波纹膜片是一种薄壳弹性体，由于它的参数很多，又相互制约，所以使得它的设计很复杂。在大多数位移式仪器仪表中，要求波纹膜片产生至少和膜片厚度是同样数量级的弹性位移。这就要求使用薄壳的几何非线性理论进行分析。大多数学者研究波纹膜片的弯曲问题，是采用扁壳理论讨论具有浅波纹的膜片。而工程实际中，经常遇到深波纹膜片，这就要求从一般壳体大挠度方程进行求解。本文采用轴对称旋转壳体的简化Re-issner方程。研究了在中心集中载荷作用下具有光滑中心波纹膜片的非线性弯曲问题。应用积分方程方法，可以获得膜片的特征关系（载荷-中心挠度关系）和应力分布。文末给出实例计算的数值结果。

Non-linear thermal stability of bimetallic shallow shells of revolution

In this paper, a theory for non-linear thermal stability of open bimetallic shallow shells of revolution under a uniform temperature field is developed. To apply the theory to the particular case of some elastic elements in precision instruments, this paper discusses two important kinds of shells, the bimetallic shallow spherical shell with a circular hole at the center and the bimetallic truncated shallow conical shell. The more accurate solutions are obtained by the modified iteration method. All results are expressed in curves which may be applied directly to the design of the elastic elements.     

3-D elastic stress singularity at polyhedral corner points

The three-dimensional stress singularity at the top of an arbitrary polyhedral corner is considered. Based on the boundary integral equations, the problem is reduced by the Mellin transform to a system of certain one-dimensional integral equations. The orders of stress singularity are spectral points of the integral operators while angular distribution and intensity factors are found as residues at those points. Numerical results are obtained by means of the Galerkin discretization scheme using expansions in terms of orthogonal polynomials with the proper weights. Some of the results illustrating the orders dependence on the elastic properties and corner geometry for a wedge-shaped punch and a crack, for an elastic trihedron and for a surface-breaking crack are given.

Isolated crack in three-dimensional piezoelectric solid. Part II: Stress intensity factors for circular crack

This is part II of the work concerned with finding the stress intensity factors for a circular crack in a solid with piezoelectric behavior. The method of solution involves reducing the problem to a system of hypersingular integral equations by application of the unit concentrated displacement discontinuity and the unit concentrated electric potential discontinuity derived in part I [1]. The near crack border elastic displacement, electric potential, stress and electric displacement are obtained. Stress and electric displacement intensity factors can be expressed in terms of the displacement and the potential discontinuity on the crack surface. Analogy is established between the boundary integral equations for arbitrary shaped cracks in a piezoelectric and elastic medium such that once the stress intensity factors in the piezoelectric medium can be determined directly from that of the elastic medium. Results for the penny-shaped crack are obtained as an example.
