Optimization of Axisymmetric Membrane Shells Against Brittle Fracture

The questions investigated in this paper are related to an important class of problems of optimal design of structures against brittle fracture. The primary problem of axisymmetric shell optimization under fracture mechanics constraint is formulated as the weight (volume of the shell material) minimization under stress intensity constraints. Considered problems are characterized by incomplete information concerning crack size, crack location and its orientation. Taking into account the factor of incomplete information the paper presents the formulation of optimal shell design problem based on minimax (guaranteed) approach and provides some results of analytical investigation for thin-walled shells with through cracks.     

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     

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.     

Dynamic elastic and plastic buckling of complete spherical shells

A theoretical investigation is undertaken into the dynamic instability of complete spherical shells which are loaded impulsively and made from either linear elastic or elastic-plastic materials. It is shown that certain harmonics grow quickly and cause a shell to exhibit a wrinkled shape which is characterized by a critical mode number. The critical mode numbers are similar for spherical and cylindrical elastic shells having the same R/h ratios and material parameters, but may be larger or smaller in an elastic-plastic spherical shell depending on the values of the various parameters. Threshold velocities are also determined in order to obtain the smallest velocity that a shell can tolerate without excessive deformation. The threshold velocities for the elastic and elastic-plastic spherical shells are larger than those which have been published previously for cylindrical shells having the same R/h ratios and material parameters.     

On problems of optimal design of shallow shell with double curvature on elastic foundation

The present paper discusses a method of optimal design of the shallow shell with double curvature on the elastic foundation Substantially we take the initial flexural function as the control function or design variable which will be found and the potential energy of the external loads as the criterion of quality of the optimal design of the shallow shell with double curvature, therefore the functional of the potential energy will be aim function. The optimal conditions and the isoperimetric conditions belong to the constrained conditions. thus we obtain the necessary conditions of the optimal design for the given problems, at the same time the conjugate function is introduced, then the problems are reduced to the solutions of two boundary value problems for the differential equation of conjugate function and the initial flexual function.

The effect of the reinforcement structure on the heat conductivity of shells of revolution with a system of tubes filled with a liquid heat-transfer agent

The initial boundary-value heat-conduction problem for shells reinforced by tubes filled with a flowing liquid heat-transfer agent is considered. The dependence of the coefficients in the heat-conduction equations on the thermophysical characteristics of the composition phases, reinforcement parameters, and shell geometry is studied. A comparative analysis of the stationary temperature fields in thin shells of revolution of different Gaussian curvature is performed for various reinforcement structures and heat-exchange regimes. It is shown that the temperature distribution in the shells depends strongly on the reinforcement structure and the shell geometry, which opens up new possibilities of designing optimal structures.

Dynamics of an elastic half-space with a reinforced cylindrical cavity under moving loads

Partial separation of variables and reexpansion of cylindrical and plane waves are used to find the solution describing the uniform motion of a load along a thin circular cylindrical shell in an elastic half-space with the free surface parallel to the axis of the shell. This is a model problem for studying the dynamics of tunnels and shallow-buried pipelines under transport loads. Dispersion curves for the cases of sliding and tight contact between the shell and the half-space are plotted and analyzed. The effect of the shell parameters on the stress–strain state of the half-space is examined     

Thermal-economic multi-objective optimization of shell and tube heat exchanger using particle swarm optimization (PSO)

Many studies are performed by researchers about shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE) but the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique has never been used in such studies. This paper presents application of thermal-economic multi-objective optimization of STHE using PSO. For optimal design of a STHE, it was first thermally modeled using e-number of transfer units method while Bell–Delaware procedure was applied to estimate its shell side heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop. Multi objective PSO (MOPSO) method was applied to obtain the maximum effectiveness (heat recovery) and the minimum total cost as two objective functions. The results of optimal designs were a set of multiple optimum solutions, called ‘Pareto optimal solutions’. In order to show the accuracy of the algorithm, a comparison is made with the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and MOPSO which are developed for the same problem.     

Vibration analysis of bi-layered FGM cylindrical shells

In the present study, a vibration frequency analysis of a bi-layered cylindrical shell composed of two independent functionally graded layers is presented. The thickness of the shell layers is assumed to be equal and constant. Material properties of the constituents of bi-layered functionally graded cylindrical shell are assumed to vary smoothly and continuously through the thickness of the layers of the shell and are controlled by volume fraction power law distribution. The expressions for strain–displacement and curvature–displacement relationships are utilized from Love’s first approximation linear thin shell theory. The versatile Rayleigh–Ritz approach is employed to formulate the frequency equations in the form of eigenvalue problem. Influence of material distribution in the two functionally graded layers of the cylindrical shells is investigated on shell natural frequencies for various shell parameters with simply supported end conditions. To check the validity, accuracy and efficiency of the present methodology, results obtained are compared with those available in the literature.     

Free vibrations of circular cylindrical shells with a small added concentrated mass

The effect of a small added mass on the frequency and shape of free vibrations of a thin shell is studied using shallow shell theory. The proposed mathematical model assumes that mass asymmetry even in a linear formulation leads to coupled radial flexural vibrations. The interaction of shape-generating waves is studied using modal equations obtained by the Bubnov–Galerkin method. Splitting of the flexural frequency spectrum is found, which is caused not only by the added mass but also by the wave-formation parameters of the shell. The ranges of the relative lengths and shell thicknesses are determined in which the interaction of flexural and radial vibrations can be neglected.     

Nonlinear analysis on dynamic buckling of eccentrically stiffened functionally graded material toroidal shell segment surrounded by elastic foundations in thermal environment and under time-dependent torsional loads

The nonlinear analysis with an analytical approach on dynamic torsional buckling of stiffened functionally graded thin toroidal shell segments is investigated. The shell is reinforced by inside stiffeners and surrounded by elastic foundations in a thermal environment and under a time-dependent torsional load. The governing equations are derived based on the Donnell shell theory with the von K′arm′an geometrical nonlinearity,the Stein and McE lman assumption, the smeared stiffeners technique, and the Galerkin method. A deflection function with three terms is chosen. The thermal parameters of the uniform temperature rise and nonlinear temperature conduction law are found in an explicit form. A closed-form expression for determining the static critical torsional load is obtained. A critical dynamic torsional load is found by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and the Budiansky-Roth criterion. The effects of stiffeners, foundations, material,and dimensional parameters on dynamic responses of shells are considered.
