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.     

The effect of material and geometry on the non-linear vibrations of orthotropic circular cylindrical shells

The extensive use of circular cylindrical shells in modern industrial applications has made their analysis an important research area in applied mechanics. In spite of a large number of papers on cylindrical shells, just a small number of these works is related to the analysis of orthotropic shells. However several modern and natural materials display orthotropic properties and also densely stiffened cylindrical shells can be treated as equivalent uniform orthotropic shells. In this work, the influence of both material properties and geometry on the non-linear vibrations and dynamic instability of an empty simply supported orthotropic circular cylindrical shell subjected to lateral time-dependent load is studied. Donnell׳s non-linear shallow shell theory is used to model the shell and a modal solution with six degrees of freedom is used to describe the lateral displacements of the shell. The Galerkin method is applied to derive the set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations of motion which are, in turn, solved by the Runge–Kutta method. The obtained results show that the material properties and geometric relations have a significant influence on the instability loads and resonance curves of the orthotropic shell.

Semi-analytical stability analysis of doubly-curved orthotropic shallow panels — considering the effects of boundary conditions

This paper focuses on the development of the partitioned solution method (PSM) for analyzing the stability behavior of doubly-curved shallow orthotropic panels under external pressure, covering both the buckling and postbuckling responses. Adjacent equilibrium method (AEM) is used to verify the developed PSM method and the associated stability results. The equilibrium and compatibility equations are derived using Donnell-type thin shell theory, with the Airy stress function and the out-of-plane displacement as unknowns. Based on AEM and PSM, both an eigenvalue problem and non-linear algebraic equations are obtained which are used as the basis for the stability criteria, respectively. Results obtained from those two methods are presented and compared with each other for a few arbitrary sets of system parameters, wherein no postbuckling solutions are presented with AEM. The influence of the boundary conditions on the stability behavior is also investigated using the PSM.

Novel shear deformation model for moderately thick and deep laminated composite conoidal shell

This article presents a novel mathematical model for moderately thick and deep laminated composite conoidal shell. The zero transverse shear stress at top and bottom of conoidal shell conditions is applied. Novelty in the present formulation is the inclusion of curvature effect in displacement field and cross curvature effect in strain field. This present model is suitable for deep and moderately thick conoidal shell. The peculiarity in the conoidal shell is that due to its complex geometry, its peak value of transverse deflection is not at its center like other shells. The C¹ continuity requirement associated with the present model has been suitably circumvented. A nine-node curved quadratic isoparametric element with seven nodal unknowns per node is used in finite element formulation of the proposed mathematical model. The present model results are compared with experimental, elasticity, and numerical results available in the literature. This is the first effort to solve the problem of moderately thick and deep laminated composite conoidal shell using parabolic transverse shear strain deformation across the thickness of conoidal shell. Many new numerical problems are solved for the static study of moderately thick and deep laminated composite conoidal shell considering 10 different practical boundary conditions, four types of loadings, six different hl/hh (minimum rise/maximum rise) ratios, and four different laminations.     

On the non-classical mathematical models of coupled problems of thermo-elasticity for multi-layer shallow shells with initial imperfections

Mathematical modeling of evolutionary states of non-homogeneous multi-layer shallow shells with orthotropic initial imperfections belongs to one of the most important and necessary steps while constructing numerous technical devices, as well as aviation and ship structural members. In first part of the paper fundamental hypotheses are formulated which allow us to derive Hamilton–Ostrogradsky equations. The latter yield equations governing shell behavior within the applied hypotheses and modified Pelekh–Sheremetev conditions. The aim of second part of the paper is to formulate fundamental hypotheses in order to construct coupled boundary problems of thermo-elasticity which are used in non-classical mathematical models for multi-layer shallow shells with initial imperfections. In addition, a coupled problem for multi-layer shell taking into account a 3D heat transfer equation is formulated. Third part of the paper introduces necessary phase spaces for the second boundary value problem for evolutionary equations, defining the coupled problem of thermo-elasticity for a simply supported shallow shell. The theorem regarding uniqueness of the mentioned boundary value problem is proved. It is also proved that the approximate solution regarding the second boundary value problem defining condition for the thermo-mechanical evolution for rectangular shallow homogeneous and isotropic shells can be found using the Bubnov–Galerkin method.     

Doubly curved shallow shells with rectangular base elastically supported by edge arched beams and tie-rods (I)

The equations of equilibrium of shallow shells with rectangular base elastically supported with edge arched beams are obtained through the variational principle together with corresponding boundary conditions and corner conditions. It is assumed that edge arched beams are of narrow plate form, so that only the rigidities in their own planes are taken into consideration, torsional rigidities and bending rigidities out of their own planes are neglected. In this paper, two kinds of corner conditions are discussed. First of these is pinned corner conditions. Second of these is simply supported corner conditions, such that the corner can be moved freely in horizontal directions. The former corresponds to the conditions of those with heavy tension beams, in which the tension rigidities of the rods can be assumed infinite. The latter corresponds to the conditions of elastically supported edge arched beams without tension rods. In the former case, the edge tangential displacement of shallow shells is assumed to be zero everywhere, so that the vertical displacement of the edge arched beams gives the only elastic supported forces. This kind of supporting conditions is a good approximation for practical roof design.In this paper, the solutions of the problem of shallow spherical shell of square base supported elastically by edge arched beams and tie-rods under the conditions, such that the corners are restricted, are solved by the method of double trigonometric series. The edge conditions are integrated along their respective edge, and the conditions at corner are satisfied by proper choices of integral constants. The integrated edge conditions are then used to determine the unknown constants in the double trigonometric series. The result of this paper gives the tension in the tie-rods directly, which is an important quantity in the shell roof design practice.The method of integrated form of boundary conditions used in this paper in general is useful for the treatment of problem of plates and shells elastically supported by edge frames and tie-rods or by other means.This paper also gives the results of numerical calculation based upon the method of double trigonometric series on the problem of shallow spherical shell with square bases elastically supported by arched beams. The corner are pinned supported or simply supported. The calculated results for =11.5936 show that the trigonometric series converges rapidly. The effect of elastic deformation in the arched beams to the components of membrane tensions, moments, and deflections of the shell are given.

On problems of optimal design of shallow shell with double curvature on elastic foundation

The present paper discusses a method of optimal design of the shallow shell with double curvature on the elastic foundation Substantially we take the initial flexural function as the control function or design variable which will be found and the potential energy of the external loads as the criterion of quality of the optimal design of the shallow shell with double curvature, therefore the functional of the potential energy will be aim function. The optimal conditions and the isoperimetric conditions belong to the constrained conditions. thus we obtain the necessary conditions of the optimal design for the given problems, at the same time the conjugate function is introduced, then the problems are reduced to the solutions of two boundary value problems for the differential equation of conjugate function and the initial flexual function.

Non-linear thermal stability of bimetallic shallow shells of revolution

In this paper, a theory for non-linear thermal stability of open bimetallic shallow shells of revolution under a uniform temperature field is developed. To apply the theory to the particular case of some elastic elements in precision instruments, this paper discusses two important kinds of shells, the bimetallic shallow spherical shell with a circular hole at the center and the bimetallic truncated shallow conical shell. The more accurate solutions are obtained by the modified iteration method. All results are expressed in curves which may be applied directly to the design of the elastic elements.
