一种提高四边形四节点平面壳单元计算精度的新方法

平面壳单元是由平面应力单元和平板弯曲单元叠加组合而成,具有简单的理论表达,但是它在计算曲面壳体结构时误差较大。为了进一步提高平面壳单元的计算精度,本文提出了一种计算平面壳单元刚度矩阵的新方法。通过该方法在高斯积分点建立多个单元局部坐标系,并保证每个局部坐标系都位于单元在高斯点处的切平面上,从而可以有效适应曲面壳体形状,达到进一步提高平面壳单元计算精度的目的。为了在这种新坐标系下计算单元刚度矩阵,给出了求解形函数对局部坐标的导数、局部到自然坐标系积分转换的雅可比、以及局部到整体坐标系的转换矩阵的新型计算方法。通过将这些新坐标系以及新计算方法运用到平面壳单元DKQ24中,可以有效提高平面壳单元尤其是在计算曲面壳体时的精度。计算结果表明,本文方法和平面壳单元相结合,不仅具有平面壳单元简单的理论表达式,还能得到满意的精度。另外,本文方法还可以应用到其他类型的平面壳单元,为提高其他类型平面壳单元的计算精度提供了一种新的途径和思路,具有广阔的应用前景。

Incremental analysis of the nonlinear behavior of thin shells

The paper proposes a method of incremental loading for solving nonlinear problems of shell theory. A feature of this method is that the same algorithm is used before buckling, at the limit point, and after buckling. The method is based on the assumption that all the unknowns, including the load parameter, are on an equal footing. It is shown that the method can be used to solve algebraic equations with Cramer's rule involved to avoid numerical instability in the neighborhood of the limit point. Test problems confirm the validity of the approach Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 9, pp. 85–93, September 2008.

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.

Ultimate deformation behavior of a laminated spherical shell

Summary A solution method is developed for a laminated spherical shell, subject to uniform normal tractions or constant radial displacements on the boundary. Displacements and stresses in the shell can be obtained from the solution formulas, which are as simple as those for homogeneous spherical shells. These formulas are accurate when the thicknesses of the constituent spherical layers are small in comparison with the radii of the shell, and become exact in case these thicknesses tend to zero under a fixed overall shell thickness. The solution is obtained mainly by exactly treating the product of an infinitely large number of matrices which link the displacements and stresses in different constituent spherical layers. A continuous analysis and a number of numerical results are provided to validate this development. Received 4 December 1996; accepted for publication 12 September 1997

Nonlinear Oscillations and Stability of Parametrically Excited Cylindrical Shells

Based on Donnell shallow shell equations, the nonlinear vibrations and dynamic instability of axially loaded circular cylindrical shells under both static and harmonic forces is theoretically analyzed. First the problem is reduced to a finite degree-of-freedom one by using the Galerkin method; then the resulting set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations of motion are solved by the Runge–Kutta method. To study the nonlinear behavior of the shell, several numerical strategies were used to obtain Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents, stable and unstable fixed points, bifurcation diagrams, and basins of attraction. Particular attention is paid to two dynamic instability phenomena that may arise under these loading conditions: parametric excitation of flexural modes and escape from the pre-buckling potential well. Calculations are carried out for the principal and secondary instability regions associated with the lowest natural frequency of the shell. Special attention is given to the determination of the instability boundaries in control space and the identification of the bifurcational events connected with these boundaries. The results clarify the importance of modal coupling in the post-buckling solution and the strong role of nonlinearities on the dynamics of cylindrical shells.     

TRANSFER MATRIX METHOD FOR ANALYZING VIBRATION AND DAMPING CHARACTERISTICS OF ROTATIONAL SHELL WITH PASSIVE CONSTRAINED LAYER DAMPING TREATMENT

The first order differential matrix equations of the host shell and constrained layer for a sandwich rotational shell are derived based on the thin shell theory.Employing the layer wise principle and first order shear deformation theory, only considering the shearing deformation of the viscoelastic layer, the integrated first order differential matrix equation of a passive constrained layer damping rotational shell is established by combining with the normal equilibrium equation of the viscoelastic layer.A highly precise transfer matrix method is developed by extended homogeneous capacity precision integration technology.The numerical results show that present method is accurate and effective.     

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.

Nonlinear vibrations of viscoelastic cylindrical shells taking into account shear deformation and rotatory inertia

The vibration problem of a viscoelastic cylindrical shell is studied in a geometrically nonlinear formulation using the refined Timoshenko theory. The problem is solved by the Bubnov–Galerkin procedure combined with a numerical method based on quadrature formulas. The choice of relaxation kernels is substantiated for solving dynamic problems of viscoelastic systems. The numerical convergence of the Bubnov–Galerkin procedure is examined. The effect of viscoelastic properties of the material on the response of the cylindrical shell is discussed. The results obtained by various theories are compared.
