Analysis of the thermoelastoplastic nonaxisymmetric stress-strain state of laminated circular cylindrical shells

A technique for analysis of the nonaxisymmetric thermoelastoplastic stress-strain state of laminated circular cylindrical shells is developed. It is assumed that the layers in a laminated package do not slip and separate relative to each other. The problem is solved using the geometrically linear theory of shells that is based on the Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses. The equations of thermoplasticity are written in the form of the method of additional strains. The order of the obtained system of partial differential equations is reduced with the help of trigonometric series in the cyclic coordinate. The systems of ordinary differential equations thus obtained are solved by Godunov's method of discrete orthogonalization. As an example, the nonaxisymmetric thermoelastoplastic stress-strain state of a two-layer cylindrical shell is considered. S. P.

To the solution of the thermoelasticity problem for conical shells

We consider the stress-strain state of thin conical shells in the case of arbitary distribution of the temperature field over the shell. We obtain equations of the general theory based on the classical Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses alone. But since these equations are very complicated, attempts to construct exact solutions by analytic methods encounter considerable or insurmountable difficulties. Therefore, the present paper deals with boundary value problems posed for simplified differential equations. The total stress-strain state is constructed by “gluing” together the solutions of these equations. Such an approach (the asymptotic synthesis method) turns out to be efficient in studying not only shells of positive and zero curvature [1, 2] and cylindrical shells [3] but also conical shells [4, 5]. Here we illustrate it by an example of an arbitrary temperature field, and the problem is reduced to solving differential equations with polynomial coefficients and with right-hand side containing the Heaviside function, the delta function, and their derivatives.     

Thermoelastoplastic Nonaxisymmetric Stress-Strain Analysis of Laminated Shells of Revolution

A technique for nonaxisymmetric thermoelastoplastic stress–strain analysis of laminated shells of revolution is developed. It is assumed that there is no slippage and the layers are not separated. The problem is solved using the geometrically linear theory of shells based on the Kirchhoff–Love hypotheses. The thermoplastic relations are written down in the form of the method of elastic solutions. The order of the system of partial differential equations obtained is reduced by means of trigonometric series in the circumferential coordinate. The systems of ordinary differential equations thus obtained are solved by Godunov's discrete-orthogonalization method. The nonaxisymmetric thermoelastoplastic stress–strain state of a two-layered shell is analyzed as an example     

Free vibration of layered cylindrical shells filled with fluid

The vibration of the layered cylindrical shells filled with a quiescent, incompressible, and inviscid fluid is analyzed. The governing equations of the cylindrical shells are derived by Love’s approximation. The solutions of the displacement functions are assumed in a separable form to obtain a system of coupled differential equations in terms of the displacement functions. The displacement functions are approximated by Bickley-type splines. A generalized eigenvalue problem is obtained and solved numerically for the frequency parameter and an associated eigenvector of the spline coefficients. Two layered shells with three different types of materials under clamped-clamped (C-C) and simply supported (S-S) boundary conditions are considered. The variations of the frequency parameter with respect to the relative layer thickness, the length-to-radius ratio, the length-to-thickness ratio, and the circumferential node number are analyzed.     

On the Interaction of Closely Spaced Circular Openings in a Transversely Isotropic Shallow Cylindrical Shell

A transversally isotropic shallow cylindrical shell with two different circular openings under axial tension is examined. The centers of the openings are aligned along a generatrix. Stresses are evaluated by finding an approximate analytical solution to differential equations of a two-dimensional shell theory that takes transverse shears into account. The results are compared with those obtained by the finite-element method     

Analysis of a spherical tank under a local action

A spherical tank, being perfect as far as weight is concerned, is used in spacecraft, where the thin-walled elements (shells) are united by frames. Obviously, local actions on the shell and hence the stress concentration in the shell cannot be avoided. Attempts to make weight structure of the spacecraft perfect inevitably decrease the safetymargin of the components, which is possible only if the stress-strain state of the components is determined with a controlled error. A mathematical model of shell deformation mechanics is proposed for this purpose, and its linear differential equations are obtained with an error that does not exceed the error of Kirchhoff assumptions in the theory of shells. The algorithm for solving these equations contains procedures for estimating the convergence of the Fourier series and the series of the hypergeometric function with a prescribed error, and the problem can be solved analytically.     

On two approaches to determining the axisymmetric elastoplastic stress-strain state of laminated shells made of isotropic and transversely isotropic bimodulus materials

The paper compares two approaches to determining the axisymmetric elastoplastic stress-strain state of laminated shells made of isotropic and transversely isotropic materials with different elastic moduli in tension and compression. The approaches use different nonlinear constitutive equations describing the elastic deformation of the transversally isotropic bimodulus materials. Both approaches employ the theory of deformation along paths of small curvature and the Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis for the whole laminate to describe the deformation of the isotropic materials. The problem is solved by the method of successive approximations. The solutions of specific problems obtained by the two approaches are analyzed __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 6, pp. 59–69, June 2008.

An approach to the solution of problems of statics for corrugated cylindrical shells with varying thickness is proposed.

Stress distribution in physically and geometrically nonlinear thin cylindrical shells with two holes

The elastoplastic state of thin cylindrical shells weakened by two circular holes is analyzed. The centers of the holes are on the directrix of the shell. The shells are made of an isotropic homogeneous material and subjected to internal pressure of given intensity. The distribution of stresses along the hole boundaries and over the zone where they concentrate (when the distance between the holes is small) is analyzed using approximate and numerical methods to solve doubly nonlinear boundary-value problems. The data obtained are compared with the solutions of the physically nonlinear (plastic strains taken into account) and geometrically nonlinear (finite deflections taken into account) problems and with the numerical solution of the linearly elastic problem. The stress-strain state near the two holes is analyzed depending on the distance between them and the nonlinearities accounted for __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 11, pp. 88–95, November 2005.

Transient dynamic behavior of a closed gas-filled shell subjected to internal blast loading

The paper concerns the numerical solution of a problem on the forced vibration of a shell system under a blast load. The mathematical model of the transient dynamic process in the given multicomponent system is based on the use of a system of hydrodynamic equations to describe the motion of the detonation products and air and equations from shell theory to determine the stress-strain state of the shell system. The hydrodynamic equations are integrated in moving grids by the method developed by S. K. Godunov. The shell-theory equations are integrated by the integro-interpolation method. The distribution of the loads on the shells, the distribution of the maximum strains along the generatrix of the shell system, and the transformations of the detonation products at characteristic points are presented.

Inelastic deformation of flexible cylindrical shells with a curvilinear hole

The elastoplastic state of thin cylindrical shells weakened by a curvilinear (circular) hole is analyzed considering finite deflections. The shells are made of an isotropic homogeneous material. The load is internal pressure of given intensity. The distributions of stresses (strains, displacements) along the hole boundary and in the zone of their concentration are studied. The results obtained are compared with solutions that account for physical (plastic strains) or geometrical (finite deflections) nonlinearity alone and with a numerical linear elastic solution. The stress-strain state around a circular hole is analyzed for different geometries in the case where both nonlinearities are taken into account __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 12, pp. 115–123, December, 2006.

Stability of Orthotropic Corrugated Cylindrical Shells

A technique for stability analysis of cylindrical shells with a corrugated midsurface is proposed. The wave crests are directed along the generatrix. The relations of shell theory include terms of higher order of smallness than those in the Mushtari–Donnell–Vlasov theory. The problem is solved using a variational equation. The Lamé parameter and curvature radius are variable and approximated by a discrete Fourier transform. The critical load and buckling mode are determined in solving an infinite system of equations for the coefficients of expansion of the resolving functions into trigonometric series. The solution accuracy increases owing to the presence of an aggregate of independent subsystems. Singularities in the buckling modes of corrugated shells corresponding to the minimum critical loads are determined. The basic, practically important conclusion is that both isotropic and orthotropic shells with sinusoidal corrugation are efficient only when their length, which depends on the waveformation parameters and the geometric and mechanical characteristics, is small     

A nonlinear composite shell theory

A general nonlinear theory for the dynamics of elastic anisotropic circular cylindrical shells undergoing small strains and moderate-rotation vibrations is presented. The theory fully accounts for extensionality and geometric nonlinearities by using local stress and strain measures and an exact coordinate transformation, which result in nonlinear curvatures and strain-displacement expressions that contain the von Karman strains as a special case. Moreover, the linear part of the theory contains, as special cases, most of the classical linear theories when appropriate stress resultants and couples are defined. Parabolic distributions of the transverse shear strains are accounted for by using a third-order theory and hence shear correction factors are not required. Five third-order nonlinear partial differential equations describing the extension, bending, and shear vibrations of shells are obtained using the principle of virtual work and an asymptotic analysis. These equations show that laminated shells display linear elastic and nonlinear geometric couplings among all motions.

Asymptotic method for analysis of a conical shell under local loading

Differential equations of the general theory describing the stress-strain state of conical shells are very complicated, and when computing the exact solution of the problem by analytic methods one encounters severe or even so far insurmountable difficulties. Therefore, in the present paper we develop an approach based on the method of asymptotic synthesis of the stressed state, which has already proved efficient when solving similar problems for cylindrical shells [1, 2]. We essentially use the fourth-order differential equations obtained by Kan [3], which describe the ground state and the boundary effect. Earlier, such equations have already been used to solve problems concerning force and thermal actions on weakly conical shells [4–6]. By applying the asymptotic synthesis method to these equations, we manage to obtain sufficiently accurate closed-form solutions.     

The stress-strain fields at crack tip in axially cracked cylindrical shells and the calculation of stress intensity factors

A perturbation solution for stress-strain fields (including modes I, II, III) at crack tip in axially cracked cylindrical shells is given. The analysis, using 10th-order differential equations which take the transverse shear deformations into account, involves perturbation in a curvature parameter λ², (λ²=[12(1-v ²)]^1/2 a ²/Rh). Stress intensity factors for finite size cylindrical shells under bending and internal pressure loading are evaluated. A good accuracy can be obtained without using fine meshes in a region near the crack tip. Besides, the influence of the finite size and the shearing stiffness on bulging factors, which are commonly used in engineering, are analyzed.
