An exact closed-form procedure for free vibration analysis of laminated spherical shell panels based on Sanders theory

This paper deals with closed-form solutions for in-plane and out-of-plane free vibration of moderately thick laminated transversely isotropic spherical shell panels on the basis of Sanders theory without any usage of approximate methods. The governing equations of motion and the boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton’s principle. The highly coupled governing equations are recast to some uncoupled equations by introducing four potential functions. Also, some relations were presented for the unknowns of the original set of equations in terms of the unknowns of the uncoupled equations. According to the proposed analytical approach, both Navier and Lévy-type explicit solutions are developed for moderately thick laminated spherical shell panels. The efficiency and high accuracy of the present approach are investigated by comparing some of the present study with the available results in the literature and the results of 3D finite element method. The effects of various shell parameters like shear modulus ratio of transversely isotropic materials and curvature ratio on the natural frequencies are studied. Clearly, the proposed solutions can accurately predict the in-plane and out-of-plane natural frequencies of moderately thick transversely isotropic spherical shell panels.

Transient waves in a thin sphere enclosing an acoustic medium from a moving planar pressure discontinuity

Three models are adopted to analyze transient waves in a spherical shell enclosing an acoustic medium from a moving planar pressure discontinuity. The first model is a plane-strain thin ring. The second model is a spherical shell, and the third model is a plane-strain thick ring that modifies the thin ring model to include reflections across the thickness. All models agree that extensional motions of the shell control internal acoustic pressure of the fluid, and that flexural motions modulate average response by a small amplitude high frequency oscillation. The spherical shell model yields a temporary negative pressure opposite to the striking point and a persistent sharp drop in pressure close to the center. Magnitude of transient pressure depends on the separation between the coupled structural resonance and the internal acoustic resonance with pressure release at the boundary.     

A note on the effect of surface energy and void size to void growth

Recent studies revealed that rapid void growth is the dominant failure mechanism in an elasto-plastic solid under high mean tensile stress. This paper studies the effect of the surface energy and void size to the void growth. The models of a thick spherical shell and a thick spherical column in void growth are analyzed and numerically estimated. The main conclusion from this study is that, for typical metals, the surface energy effect is negligible for voids larger than 100 nm in size, but it may become significant when the void size is on the order of 10 nm.     

Damage analysis and dynamic response of elasto-plastic laminated composite shallow spherical shell under low velocity impact

Based on the elasto-plastic mechanics, the damage analysis and dynamic response of an elasto-plastic laminated composite shallow spherical shell under low velocity impact are carried out in this paper. Firstly, a yielding criterion related to spherical tensor of stress is proposed to model the mixed hardening orthotropic material, and accordingly an incremental elasto-plastic damage constitutive relation for the laminated shallow spherical shell is founded when a strain-based Hashin failure criterion is applied to assess the damage initiation and propagation. Secondly, using the presented constitutive relations and the classical nonlinear shell theory, a series of incremental nonlinear motion equations of orthotropic moderately thick laminated shallow spherical shell are obtained. The questions are solved by using the orthogonal collocation point method, Newmark method and iterative method synthetically. Finally, a modified elasto-plastic contact law is developed to determine the normal contact force and the effect of damage, geometrical parameters, elasto-plastic contact and boundary conditions on the contact force and the dynamic response of the structure under low velocity impact are investigated.     

Analysis of nonlinear dynamic response and dynamic buckling for laminated shallow spherical thick shells with damage

Based on the nonlinear theory of shallow spherical thick shells and the damage mechanics, a set of nonlinear equations of motion for the laminated shallow spherical thick shells with damage subjected to a normal concentrated load on the top are established. According to Hertz law, the contact force acted upon the shells is determined due to the impact of a mass, and it is related to the mass and initial velocity of the striking object, the geometrical and physical character of the shell. By using the finite difference method and the time increment procedure, the nonlinear equations are resolved. In the numerical examples, the effects of the damage, the initial velocity, and mass of the striking object, the shells’ geometrical parameters on the dynamic responses and dynamic buckling of the laminated shallow spherical thick shells are discussed.

Dynamic elastic and plastic buckling of complete spherical shells

A theoretical investigation is undertaken into the dynamic instability of complete spherical shells which are loaded impulsively and made from either linear elastic or elastic-plastic materials. It is shown that certain harmonics grow quickly and cause a shell to exhibit a wrinkled shape which is characterized by a critical mode number. The critical mode numbers are similar for spherical and cylindrical elastic shells having the same R/h ratios and material parameters, but may be larger or smaller in an elastic-plastic spherical shell depending on the values of the various parameters. Threshold velocities are also determined in order to obtain the smallest velocity that a shell can tolerate without excessive deformation. The threshold velocities for the elastic and elastic-plastic spherical shells are larger than those which have been published previously for cylindrical shells having the same R/h ratios and material parameters.     

Slow Motion of an Assemblage of Porous Spherical Shells Relative to a Fluid

The body-force-driven motion of a homogeneous distribution of spherically symmetric porous shells in an incompressible Newtonian fluid and the fluid flow through a bed of these shell particles are investigated analytically. The effect of the hydrodynamic interaction among the porous shell particles is taken into account by employing a cell-model representation. In the limit of small Reynolds number, the Stokes and Brinkman equations are solved for the flow field around a single particle in a unit cell, and the drag force acting on the particle by the fluid is obtained in closed forms. For a suspension of porous spherical shells, the mobility of the particles decreases or the hydrodynamic interaction among the particles increases monotonically with a decrease in the permeability of the porous shells. The effect of particle interactions on the creeping motion of porous spherical shells relative to a fluid can be quite significant in some situations. In the limiting cases, the analytical solution describing the drag force or mobility for a suspension of porous spherical shells reduces to those for suspensions of impermeable solid spheres and of porous spheres. The particle-interaction behavior for a suspension of porous spherical shells with a relatively low permeability may be approximated by that of permeable spheres when the porous shells are sufficiently thick.     

Accurate equations for laminated composite deep thick shells

This paper derives accurate equations of elastic deformation for laminated composite deep, thick shells. The equations include shells with a pre-twist and accurate force and moment resultants which are considerably different than those used for plates. This is due to the fact that the stresses over the thickness of the shell have to be integrated on a trapezoidal-like cross-section of a shell element to obtain the stress resultants. Numerical results are obtained and showed that accurate stress resultants are needed for laminated composite deep thick shells, especially if the curvature is not spherical. A consistent set of equations of motion, energy functionals and boundary conditions are also derived. These may be used in obtaining exact solutions or approximate ones like the Ritz or finite element methods.     

Characteristics of elastic waves in FGM spherical shells,an analytical solution

In this paper, we investigate the propagation characteristics of elastic guided waves in FGM spherical shells with exponentially graded material in the radial direction. A new separation of variables technique to displacements is proposed to convert the governing equations of the wave motion to the second-order ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients. By further a variables transform technique, these equations are transformed to the Whittaker equations so that analytic solutions can be obtained. For the spherical shell case, by satisfying the traction-free boundary conditions on both the inner and outer surfaces of the shell, we obtain the dispersion equations, which show that both the SH and Lamb-type wave modes are generated in the structure. The calculated dispersion curves in the functionally graded shell demonstrate a clear influence of the gradient coefficient as compared to those of the homogeneous shell, with the Lamb-type waves more sensitive to the gradient coefficient. The mode shapes and the distributions of stresses in the shells for various gradient coefficients are also presented to illustrate their dependence on the gradient coefficient.     

Ambiguity of the critical load for spherical shells with shear damageability of the material

The structural-probabilistic approach to the modeling of combined crack formation and material deformation processes is used to develop a technique for solving bifurcation stability problems for thin-walled structural members made of damageable materials under single and repeated loadings. The example of a uniformly compressed spherical shell is used to show that, under repeated loading, thin-walled structural members made of shear damageable materials can lose stability under loads smaller than the upper critical loads. The ambiguity of the critical loads for various damage accumulation processes in the material of thin-walled structures depends on the level and character of loading. This phenomenon can be one possible cause of the experimental data spread and the discrepancy between theoretical and experimental results used to determine the critical loads for spherical and cylindrical shells.

Instability in a spherical fluid shell

Summary The model considered is a collapsing or expanding spherical shell of incompressible fluid with constant total energy. The stability of its surfaces is studied by the usual perturbation method. There is a non-uniform acceleration through the shell which satisfies Taylor's criterion for stability at both surfaces. The inner surface however fails to satisfy Birkhoff's condition during collapse and is in general algebraically unstable. The stability of the outer surfaces is found to depend on the ratio of shell thickness to radius. For a thin shell the ratio of the initial perturbation amplitudes on the two surfaces is found to govern the motion at each surface, while for a thick shell, and for harmonics of order higher than the second, the two surfaces are independent, the inner surface being unstable during collapse and the outer surface unstable during expansion.
