Circular shallow spherical shells with central circular hole under simultaneous actions of arbitrary unsteady temperature field and arbitrary dynamic normal load

In this paper, under assumption that tempeature is linearly distributed along the thickness of the shell, we deal with problems as indicated in the title and obtain general solutions of them which are expressed in analytic form.In the first part, we investigate free vibration of circular shallow spherical shells with circular holes at the center under usual arbitrary boundary conditions. As an example, we calculate fundamental natural frequency of a circular shallow spherical shell whose edge is fixed (m=0). Results we get are expressed in analytic form and check well with E. Reissner’s [1]. Method for calculating frequency equation is recently suggested by Chien Wei-zang and is to be introduced in appendix 3.In the second part, we investigate forced vibration of shells as indicated in the title under arbitrary harmonic temperature field and arbitrary harmonic dynamic normal load.In the third part, we investigate forced vibration of the above mentioned shells with initial conditions under arbitrary unsteady temperature field and arbitrary normal load.In appendix 1 and 2, we discuss how to express displacement boundary conditions with stress function and boundary conditions in the case m=1.     

Local strength of thin-walled structures

We suggest efficient methods for studying stress concentrations in thin-walled structural members. The advantages of these methods are determined by their essential distinguishing characteristics as compared with well-known methods. After the separation of variables, the solution of linear ordinary differential equations of shell strain mechanics is analytically determined in the form of a matrix Taylor series. The property of the solution to satisfy arbitrary initial conditions allows one simply to reduce the boundary conditions to the initial conditions prior to calculating. Another method for structures with arbitrary parameters of the shells permits one to transfer the boundary conditions by a multiplicative method to the stress concentration site and to use them as the initial conditions in studying the stress concentration. We present the results of investigations of the stress concentration in transport-launch containers of aircraft by various methods.

Nonlinear free vibration of spinning cylindrical shells with arbitrary boundary conditions

The aim of the present study is to investigate the nonlinear free vibration of spinning cylindrical shells under spinning and arbitrary boundary conditions. Artificial springs are used to simulate arbitrary boundary conditions. Sanders' shell theory is employed, and von Kármán nonlinear terms are considered in the theoretical modeling. By using Chebyshev polynomials as admissible functions, motion equations are derived with the Ritz method. Then, a direct iteration method is used to obtain the nonlinear vibration frequencies. The effects of the circumferential wave number, the boundary spring stiffness, and the spinning speed on the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the shells are highlighted. It is found that there exist sensitive intervals for the boundary spring stiffness, which makes the variation of the nonlinear frequency ratio more evident. The decline of the frequency ratio caused by the spinning speed is more significant for the higher vibration amplitude and the smaller boundary spring stiffness.

Research on establishing BEM of thin plates with Kelvin's fundamental solution

In this paper, a new approach based on Kirchhoff hypothesis of plate is proposed, by employing which the theory of BEM of linear elastostatics can be simplified to BEM of arbitrary thin elastic plate. Instead of the fundamental solution of plate, we adopt the well known Kelvin's solution. By boundary treatment, we can obtain a computational scheme with high consistency, without having to deal with the concentrate load at corner point, and make it easy to analyze the transverse coupling problem of plate. This research work also lies in founding BEM of general shells, so that the difficulty of looking for their fundamental solutions can be avoided.The project is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China

Free vibration of nonlinear deformation ring-and stringer-stiffened nonuniform cylindrical shell

Cylindrical shells stiffened with rings and stringers are used in many structural applications such as pipes conveying fluids or gases and acrospace. In this paper, the general solution is obtained for free vibration of nonlinear deformation ring-and stringer-stiffened cylindrical shell with arbitrary boundary condition by step reduction method^[1]. Finally, it is only necessary to solve a nonlinear algebraic equation. This equation is expressed as an analytic form. Its convergence is proved. Three numerical examples are given at the end of the paper which indicate that satisfactory results can be obtained by step reduction method.

A theoretical solution of cylindrical shells for axisymmetric plain strain elastodynamic problems

A method is developed for the transient responses of axisymmetric plain strain problems of cylindrical shells subjected to dynamic loads. Firstly, a special function was introduced to transform the inhomogeneous boundary conditions into the homogeneous ones. Secondly, using the method of separation of variables, the quantity that the displacement subtracts the special function was expanded as the multiplication series of Bassel functions and time functions. Then by virtue of the orthogonal properties of Bessel functions, the equation with respect to the time variable was derived, of which the solution is easily obtained. The displacement solution was finally obtained by adding the two parts mentioned above. The present method can avoid the integral transform and is fit for arbitrary loads. Numerical results are presented for internally shocked isotropic and cylindrically isotropic cylindrical shells and externally shocked cylinders, as well as for an externally shocked, cylindrically isotropic cylindrical shell that is fixed at the internal surface.

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.

均布载荷作用下具有光滑中心波纹膜片的非线性分析

采用轴对称旋转壳体的简化Reissner方程，研究了在均布载荷作用下具有光滑中心波纹膜片的非线性弯曲问题。应用格林函数方法，波纹膜片的非线性边值问题化为了非线性积分方程的求解。为了求解积分方程并防止发散，一个插值参数被引入到迭代格式中。计算表明，当载荷很小时，任何插值参数值均能保证迭代的收敛性，取插值参数值接近或等于1获得较快的收敛速度，而当载荷较大时，插值参数值不能取得过大。绘出了波纹膜片的特征曲线，得到的特征曲线可供设计参考。可以断言，当载荷不大时，特征曲线是近似线性的，随着载荷的增大，特征曲线开始向上弯曲，明显偏离线性。本文中提出的解决方法适应于任意轴向截面的波纹壳体。     

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.
