A numerical calculation of dynamic buckling of a thin shallow spherical shell under impact

Assuming the deformation of the shell has an axial symmetrical form, we transform Marguerre's equations into difference equations, and use these equations to discuss the buckling of an elastic thin shallow spherical shell subjected to impact loads. The result shows when impact load acts on the shells, a jump of the shell takes place dependent on the values λ and the critical buckling load increases with the enlargement of the loading area.     

A catastrophe model for the impact torsional buckling of elastic cylindrical shell

The catastrophe theory is used to study the impact buckling of elastic structures. A criterion for impact buckling is established based on the proposed catastrophe system, in whose bifurcation set the critical step load is located. By the present theory, the impact torsional buckling for a clamped cylindrical shell is studied and the critical step torques for different imperfections are given. Also, the static critical torque is given, and it is shown that the critical step torque is smaller than the critical static torque.The project is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China

Thermoelastic stability of a double-layered spherical shell

In the paper the axi-symmetrical thermoelastic stability of free double-layered spherical shells at uniform temperature is considered. The basic equations are derived from Reissner's theory of thin shells and assumptions that materials of the layers are linear thermoelastic. The conditions for the buckling of shells are determined. The temperature-deflection diagrams are calculated by using the collocation method.

Studies on the torsional buckling of elastic cylindrical shells

The experimental phenomenon and theoretical analysis are given for the torsional buckling of elastic cylindrical shells. From the experiment, it is found that the postbuckling deformation doesn't occupy the whole length when the shell is longer. In the theoretical calculation, only the normal displacement boundary condition is taken into account. By comparing the present calculation results with the accurate result of Yamakis theory and the results of the present experiment, it is shown that the influence of the axial and circumference boundary condition is less important.

金属圆柱壳受大质量低速冲击的屈曲变形

对钢质和铜质金属圆柱壳的轴向冲击动力响应进行了实验研究,记录了两种不同材料圆柱壳在大质量低速冲击下的冲击力时程曲线,得到其屈曲模态。采用高速摄像及模拟技术给出了钢质圆柱壳渐进屈曲的全过程,为理解钢质圆柱壳的屈曲机理提供了直观的结果。黄铜质圆柱壳在大质量低速冲击下, 出现整个壳面滿布屈曲波纹的塑性动力屈曲现象,说明高速冲击不是产生塑性动力屈曲的充要条件。像铜这样具有高密度的韧性材料,在大质量低速冲击下,会在轴向产生持续的压缩塑性流作用而出现塑性动力屈曲现象。

Static and dynamic snap-through behaviour of an elastic spherical shell

The deformation and snap-through behaviour of athin-walled elastic spherical shell statically compressed on aflat surface or impacted against a flat surface are studied theoretically and numerically in order to estimate the influenceof the dynamic effects on the response.A table tennis ballis considered as an example of a thin-walled elastic shell.Itis shown that the increase of the impact velocity leads to avariation of the deformed shape thus resulting in larger deformation energy.The increase of the contact force is causedby both the increased contribution of the inertia forces andcontribution of the increased deformation energy.The contact force resulted from deformation/inertia ofthe ball and the shape of the deformed region are calculated by the proposed theoretical models and compared withthe results from both the finite element analysis and somepreviously obtained experimental data.Good agreement isdemonstrated.

Summary In this paper, a model of cusped catastrophe at nonlinear dynamic buckling of a symmetrically laminated cylindrically orthotropic shallow spherical shell is presented.

The buckling of elastic spherical caps

The John equations are used to model the buckling of a simply-supported elastic spherical cap that is subjected to a constant uniform external load . The Liapunov-Schmidt method is used to solve these equations. We show that solutions possessing circular, pear-shaped, elliptical, triangular, square-shaped, pentagonal and a variety of other symmetries branch from the unbuckled state of the shell. The stability of these solutions is discussed. Some numerics that complement the analytical results are also included.     

开口复合材料柱壳屈曲与补救有限元分析

用有限元法对含有轴向裂纹的开口加强复合材料柱壳结构进行了补救研究;分析其压缩屈曲强度与模态情况,得到了裂纹长度与屈曲强度的关系,并与无裂纹的结构进行了对比.结果表明:裂纹长度在200mm以下时,对整个结构承载能力影响很小;当裂纹长度继续增大时,屈曲区域从开口上方转移到裂纹附近,屈曲强度开始急剧下降.为了加强裂纹所在区域结构的承剪能力,进行适当的修补后,可使屈曲模态与无裂纹柱壳相同,且屈曲强度稍有增加,从而证明了所提出补救方法的有效性.

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。
