Postbuckling analysis of axially-loaded laminated cylindrical shells with piezoelectric actuators

A compressive postbuckling analysis is presented for a laminated cylindrical shell with piezoelectric actuators subjected to the combined action of mechanical, electric and thermal loads. The temperature field considered is assumed to be a uniform distribution over the shell surface and through the shell thickness, and the electric field is assumed to be the transverse component E_Z only. The material properties are assumed to be independent of the temperature and the electric field. The governing equations are based on the classical shell theory with von Kármán–Donnell-type kinematic nonlinearity. The nonlinear prebuckling deformations and initial geometric imperfections of the shell are both taken into account. A boundary layer theory of shell buckling, which includes the effects of nonlinear prebuckling deformations, large deflections in the postbuckling range, and initial geometric imperfections of the shell, is extended to the case of hybrid laminated cylindrical shells. A singular perturbation technique is employed to determine the buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations concern the compressive postbuckling behavior of perfect and imperfect, cross-ply laminated cylindrical thin shells with fully covered or embedded piezoelectric actuators under different sets of thermal and electric loading conditions. The effects played by temperature rise, applied voltage, shell geometric parameter, stacking sequence, as well as initial geometric imperfections are studied.

Stability and initial postbuckling behavior of anisotropic cylindrical shells under external pressure

A solution is obtained to describe the stability and initial postbuckling behavior of cylindrical shells made of composites with one plane of symmetry. The solution is based on the Donnell-Mushtari-Vlasov nonlinear theory of anisotropic shells and Koiter’s theory of buckling and postbuckling behavior. Calculated results are presented for boron plastic shells with reinforcement of different types under external pressure. It is shown that the conventional model of a composite as an orthotropic material is erroneous for many types of reinforcement __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 3, pp. 86–103, March 2007.

New matrix method for response analysis of circumferentially stiffened non-circular cylindrical shells under harmonic pressure

Based on the governing equation of vibration of a kind of cylindrical shells written in a matrix differential equation of the first order,a new matrix method is pre- sented for steady-state vibration analysis of a noncircular cylindrical shell simply sup- ported at two ends and circumferentially stiffened by rings under harmonic pressure.Its difference from the existing works by Yamada and Irie is that the matrix differential equation is solved by using the extended homogeneous capacity precision integration ap- proach other than the Runge-Kutta-Gill integration method.The transfer matrix can easily be determined by a high precision integration scheme.In addition,besides the normal interacting forces,which were commonly adopted by researchers earlier,the tan- gential interacting forces between the cylindrical shell and the rings are considered at the same time by means of the Dirac-δfunction.The effects of the exciting frequencies on displacements and stresses responses have been investigated.Numerical results show that the proposed method is more efficient than the aforementioned method.

Initial postbuckling behavior of cylindrical composite shells under axisymmetric deformation

A solution is obtained that describes the postbuckling behavior of cylindrical shells in the case of axisymmetric buckling. The basis for this solution is Koiter’s asymptotic method and the nonlinear equations of the third-order Timoshenko theory of shells. It is shown that the bifurcation point in this case is a symmetrically unstable one. The effect of the initial axisymmetric deflections on the buckling loads is weaker when buckling is axisymmetric. The results obtained by Koiter’s special theory evidence this __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 4, pp. 108–118, April 2006.

Stability and initial postbuckling behavior of anisotropic cylindrical shells subject to torsion

The paper presents an analytical solution describing the stability and postbuckling behavior of a cylindrical shell made of an anisotropic material with one plane of symmetry and subjected to torques at the ends. The solution is found using Koiter's buckling theory and the Donnell-Mushtari-Vlasov theory of anisotropic shells. The force and deflection functions are approximated by trigonometric series that satisfy hinged boundary conditions. The system of algebraic equations to which the problem is reduced at the main stage of solution is analyzed.

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.
