Stability of longitudinally corrugated cylindrical shells under uniform surface pressure

The buckling problem for longitudinally corrugated cylindrical shells under external pressure is solved. The solution makes practically exact allowance for the geometry and buckling modes of the shell. The inaccuracy of the results is due to the assumption that the subcritical state is momentless. Shells consisting of cylindrical panels of smaller radius and noncircular shells with sinusoidal corrugations are analyzed for stability. The practical applicability of such shells is demonstrated __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 11, pp. 66–79, October 2007.     

轴对称正交异性圆环壳的齐次完全渐近解

承受轴对称载荷的正交异性圆环壳的静力分析,归结为求解一非齐次二阶复变量方程.当所含参数μ较大时,常采用渐近解法.因方程含一阶转点,所以求全域一致有效且达到薄壳理论精度的完全渐近解较为困难.过去,齐次解只求到一级近似.本文采用广义Airy函数方法,求出了高级近似.这样,轴对称正交异性圆环壳的齐次解第一次有了达到薄壳理论精度的完全的渐近展开.     

Critical velocity of sandwich cylindrical shell under moving internal pressure

Critical velocity of an infinite long sandwich shell under moving internal pressure is studied using the sandwich shell theory and elastodynamics theory. Propagation of axisymmetric free harmonic waves in the sandwich shell is studied using the sandwich shell theory by considering compressibility and transverse shear deformation of the core, and transverse shear deformation of face sheets. Based on the elastodynamics theory, displacement components expanded by Legendre polynomials, and position-dependent elastic constants and densities are introduced into the equations of motion. Critical velocity is the minimum phase velocity on the desperation relation curve obtained by using the two methods. Numerical examples and the finite element （FE） simulations are presented. The results show that the two critical velocities agree well with each other, and two desperation relation curves agree well with each other when the wave number k is relatively small. However, two limit phase velocities approach to the shear wave velocities of the face sheet and the core respectively when k limits to infinite. The two methods are efficient in the investigation of wave propagation in a sandwich cylindrical shell when k is relatively small. The critical velocity predicted in the FE simulations agrees with theoretical prediction.     

Post-buckling behavior of a point-supported cylindrical liner shell of concrete pressure vessels

Using W. T. Koiter's initial post-buckling theory, this paper deals with the critical load and post-buckling behavior of a point-supported cylindrical liner shell encased in a concrete pressure vessel while the liner shell is subjected to axial and lateral compressions. The reasonable spacing of anchors is given. The results show that the point-supported cylindrical liner shell has a relatively complicated post-buckling behavior. The behavior is subject to the change of anchor spacing in both axial and circumferential directions. When the ratio of the anchor spacing in the two directions satisfies a certain condition, the liner shell will carry the maximum load.     

在轴向应力波传播和反射过程中弹性有限长圆柱壳非对称动态屈曲

本文讨论弹性有限长圆柱壳端部受冲击载荷作用，在轴向应力波传播和反射过程中的非对称动态屈曲问题。通过建立和求解扰动方程得到了动态屈曲的分叉条件，临界载荷和屈曲模态。数值结果表明：当壳壁厚不很薄时，轴对称屈曲临界载荷比非轴对称临界载荷高；反之，轴对称临界载荷会比非对称临界载荷低；由于应力波的反射，临界载荷降低，因而更容易发生屈曲，屈曲模态也有其不同特点。

Inflation analyses of a circular elastomeric membrane with hydrostatic pressure

Composite diaphragm inflation (CDI) experiment is a useful methodology for exploring the mechanics relation of cell-cell junctions within a living epithelial sheet. In this paper, a new methodology of CDI experiment has been put forward. The finite deformation of a circular polydimezhylsiloxane elastomeric membrane, which is used as the substrate for the culture of epithelial cells, under hydrostatic pressure is explored by the theory of non-linear continuum mechanics. The simplified governing equations with minimum amount of differential equations and boundary conditions are obtained and solved by multiple shooting method. The influences on the membrane by hydrostatic pressure have been discussed.

Delamination growth for composite laminated cylindrical shells under external pressure

The delamination growth may occur in delaminated cylindrical shells under external pressure.This will lead to failure of structure.By using the variational principle of moving boundary and considering the contact effect between delamination regions,in this work,the delamination growth was investigated for cylindrical shells under the action of external pressure.At the same time,according to the Griffith criterion,the formulas of energy release rate along the delamination front were obtained.In the numerical calculation,the delamination growth of axisymmetrical laminated cylindrical shells was analyzed,and the effects of delamination sizes and depths,the geometrical parameters, the material properties,and the laminate stacking sequences on delamination growth were discussed.     

Natural frequencies of rotating functionally graded cylindrical shells

Love’s first approximation theory is used to analyze the natural frequencies of rotating functionally graded cylindrical shells.To verify the validity of the present method,the natural frequencies of the simply supported non-rotating isotropic cylindrical shell and the functionally graded cylindrical shell are compared with available published results.Good agreement is obtained.The effects of the power law index,the wave numbers along the x-and θ-directions,and the thickness-to-radius ratio on the natural frequencies of the simply supported rotating functionally graded cylindrical shell are investigated by several numerical examples.It is found that the fundamental frequencies of the backward waves increase with the increasing rotating speed,the fundamental frequencies of the forward waves decrease with the increasing rotating speed,and the forward and backward waves frequencies increase with the increasing thickness-to-radius ratio.
