TRANSFER MATRIX METHOD FOR ANALYZING VIBRATION AND DAMPING CHARACTERISTICS OF ROTATIONAL SHELL WITH PASSIVE CONSTRAINED LAYER DAMPING TREATMENT

The first order differential matrix equations of the host shell and constrained layer for a sandwich rotational shell are derived based on the thin shell theory.Employing the layer wise principle and first order shear deformation theory, only considering the shearing deformation of the viscoelastic layer, the integrated first order differential matrix equation of a passive constrained layer damping rotational shell is established by combining with the normal equilibrium equation of the viscoelastic layer.A highly precise transfer matrix method is developed by extended homogeneous capacity precision integration technology.The numerical results show that present method is accurate and effective.

Nonlinear stress and deformation analysis of thin current-carrying strip shells

The paper analyzes the nonlinear deformation of a current-carrying thin shell in coupled electromagnetic and mechanical fields. The nonlinear magnetoelastic kinetic equations, physical equations, geometric equations, electrodynamic equations, expressions for the Lorentz force of a current-carrying thin shell in a coupled field are given. The normal Cauchy form nonlinear differential equations that include ten basic unknown functions are obtained by the variable replacement method. The difference and quasi-linearization methods are used to reduce the nonlinear magnetoelastic equations to a sequence of quasilinear differential equations that can be solved by discrete orthogonalization. Numerical solutions for the stresses and strains in a current-carrying thin strip shell with two edges simply supported are obtained as an example. The dependence of the stresses and strains in the current-carrying thin strip shell on the electromagnetic parameters is discussed. In a special case, it is shown that the deformation of the shell can be controlled by changing the electromagnetic parameters     

Studies of nonlinear deformation and stability of noncircular cylindrical shells in transverse bending

The variational finite element method in displacements is used to solve the problem of geometrically nonlinear deformation and stability of cylindrical shells with a noncircular contour of the cross-section. Quadrangle finite elements of shells of natural curvature are used. In the approximations of element displacements, the displacements of elements as solids are explicitly separated. The variational Lagrange principle is used to obtain a nonlinear system of algebraic equations for the unknown nodal finite elements. The system is solved by the method of successive loadings and by the Newton-Kantorovich linearization method. The linear system is solved by the Crout method. The critical loads are determined in the process of solving the nonlinear problem by using the Sylvester stability criterion. An algorithm and a computer program are developed to study the problem numerically. The nonlinear deformation and stability of shells with oval and elliptic cross-sections are investigated in a broad range of variation of the elongation and ellipticity parameters. The shell critical loads and buckling modes are determined. The influence of the deformation nonlinearity, elongation, and ellipticity of the shell on the critical loads is examined.     

An analytic solution for interlaminar stresses in a fiber-reinforced double-layer cylindrical shell

The present paper investigates the basic characteristics of the interlaminar stresses in a double-layer cylindrical shell with both ends simply-supported under uniform external or internal pressure. The double layer shell is composed of a 0° fiber-reinforced composite layer and an isotropic layer. In this paper, this axisymmetric problem is solved exactly with the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. Both the displacement field and the stress field of each layer of the shell are expressed in Fourier series and Fourier-Bessel series. Then we illustrate the effects of the various parameters, such as geometry, material constants, loading conditions and stacking sequence, on the interlaminar stresses.     

Vibroacoustic comparisons of composite laminated cylindrical shells according to three shear deformation shell theories

Whether the first-order and Reddy third-order shear deformation shell theories are able to evaluate the vibroacoustic responses of laminated cylindrical shells with normal deformation in the high frequency range or not is examined by comparison with a 3D higher-order shear deformation shell theory. The implicit governing equations of arbitrary angle-ply laminated cylindrical shells are derived from the 3D higher-order and Reddy third-order shell theories, and solved on the basis of the Fourier transform. The Reddy third-order shell theory can be obtained as a special case from the 3D higher-order shell theory. The first-order and Reddy third-order shell theories almost give rise to the same vibrational and acoustic results. These two simple shear deformation shell theories can be used to study far-field acoustic radiation from laminated cylindrical shells from the low to high frequency range, but they show some differences from the 3D higher-order shell theory in high frequency vibration of shells. Nevertheless, the differences of vibrational responses seem not to be distinct. The helical wave spectra of the higher-order radial displacements are nearly separate from those of the low-order radial displacement and play a minor role in far-field acoustic radiation, which makes the two simple shell theories applicable in prediction of acoustic power of the cylindrical shells in the much higher frequency range. Moreover, it also results in the fact that far-field sound is least sensitive in comparison with near-field sound and vibration of shells.     

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.

A method is developed for determining the axisymmetric thermoviscoelastoplastic stress-strain state of shells subjected to bending and torsion. The problem is solved in a geometrically nonlinear formulation with allowance for transverse shear.

Application of theorem of minimum potential energy to a complex structure: Part II: three-dimensional analysis

A cylindrical shell with a non-circular cross-section consisting of flat sides and circular arc corners is analyzed using the theorem of minimum potential energy. The three-dimensional analysis builds on previous two-dimensional work. The potential energy expression for the structure is developed, including first-order transverse shear deformation effects. All unknown displacements are represented by power series, and the potential energy expression is rewritten in terms of the summation convention for the power series. The variation of the potential energy expression is taken, leading to a linear system of equations that is solved for the unknown power series coefficients. With the displacements determined, stresses are calculated for a composite sandwich construction. An examination of both short shells (less than twice the boundary layer length) and long shells (more than twice the boundary layer length) is made. The MPE method with power series is found to predict behavior well for short shells, but not for long shells.     

Analysis of creep deformation and creep damage in thin-walled branched shells from materials with different behavior in tension and compression

A constitutive model for describing the creep and creep damage in initially isotropic materials with different properties in tension and compression has been applied to the modeling of creep deformation and creep damage growth in thin-walled shells of revolution with the branched meridian. The approach of establishing the basic equations for axisymmetrically loaded branched shells under creep deformation and creep damage conditions has been introduced. To solve the initial/boundary-value problem, the fourth-order Runge–Kutta–Merson’s method of time integration with the combination of the numerically stable Godunov’s method of discrete orthogonalization is used. The solution of the boundary value problem for the branched shell at each time instant is reduced to integration of the series of systems of ordinary differential equations describing the deformation of each branch and the shell with basic meridian. Some numerical examples are considered, and the processes of creep deformation and creep damage growth in a shell with non-branched meridian as well as in a branched shell are analyzed. The influence of the tension–compression asymmetry on the stress–strain state and damage evolution in a shell with non-branched meridian as well as in a branched shell with time are discussed.

Coupled thermoelasticity of functionally graded cylindrical shells

The coupled thermoelastic response of a functionally graded circular cylindrical shell is studied. The coupled thermoelastic and the energy equations are simultaneously solved for a functionally graded axisymmetric cylindrical shell subjected to thermal shock load. A second-order shear deformation shell theory that accounts for the transverse shear strains and rotations is considered. Including the thermo-mechanical coupling and rotary inertia, a Galerkin finite element formulation in space domain and the Laplace transform in time domain are used to formulate the problem. The inverse Laplace transform is obtained using a numerical algorithm. The shell is graded through the thickness assuming a volume fraction of metal and ceramic, using a power law distribution. The results are validated with the known data in the literature.

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.

The analysis of functionally graded shallow and non-shallow shell panels with piezoelectric layers under dynamic load and electrostatic excitation based on elasticity

Elasticity solution is presented for finitely long, simply-supported, functionally graded shallow and non-shallow shell panel with two piezoelectric layers under pressure and electrostatic excitation. The functionally graded panel is assumed to be made of many sub panels. Each sub panel is considered as an isotropic layer. Material’s properties in each layer are constant and functionally graded properties are resulted by suitable arrangement of layers in multilayer panel. In each interface between two layers, stress and displacement continuities are satisfied. The highly coupled partial differential equations (p.d.e.) are reduced to ordinary differential equations (o.d.e.) with variable coefficients for non-shallow panel and constant coefficients for shallow shell panel by means of trigonometric function expansion in circumferential and longitudinal directions. The resulting ordinary differential equations are solved by Galerkin finite element method and Newmark method is used to march in time. Numerical examples are presented for functionally graded shell panel with a piezoelectric layer as an actuator in external surface and a piezoelectric layer as a sensor in internal surface and the results of the shallow and non-shallow panels are discussed.     

Thermoelastoplastic deformation of noncircular cylindrical shells

A method to determine the nonstationary temperature fields and the thermoelastoplastic stress-strain state of noncircular cylindrical shells is developed. It is assumed that the physical and mechanical properties are dependent on temperature. The heat-conduction problem is solved using an explicit difference scheme. The temperature variation throughout the thickness is described by a power polynomial. For the other two coordinates, finite differences are used. The thermoplastic problem is solved using the geometrically nonlinear theory of shells based on the Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses. The theory of simple processes with deformation history taken into account is used. Its equations are linearized by a modified method of elastic solutions. The governing system of partial differential equations is derived. Variables are separated in the case where the curvilinear edges are hinged. The partial case where the stress-strain state does not change along the generatrix is examined. The systems of ordinary differential equations obtained in all these cases are solved using Godunov's discrete orthogonalization. The temperature field in a shell with elliptical cross-section is studied. The stress-strain state found by numerical integration along the generatrix is compared with that obtained using trigonometric Fourier series. The effect of a Winkler foundation on the stress-strain state is analyzed Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 8, pp. 79–90, August 2008.
