Dynamic Stability Problems of Anisotropic Cylindrical Shells via a Simplified Analysis

An analytical–numerical method involving a small number of generalized coordinates is presented for the analysis of the nonlinear vibration and dynamic stability behaviour of imperfect anisotropic cylindrical shells. Donnell-type governing equations are used and classical lamination theory is employed. The assumed deflection modes approximately satisfy simply supported boundary conditions. The axisymmetric mode satisfying a relevant coupling condition with the linear, asymmetric mode is included in the assumed deflection function. The shell is statically loaded by axial compression, radial pressure and torsion. A two-mode imperfection model, consisting of an axisymmetric and an asymmetric mode, is used. The static-state response is assumed to be affine to the given imperfection. In order to find approximate solutions for the dynamic-state equations, Hamiltons principle is applied to derive a set of modal amplitude equations. The dynamic response is obtained via numerical time-integration of the set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The nonlinear behaviour under axial parametric excitation and the dynamic buckling under axial step loading of specific imperfect isotropic and anisotropic shells are simulated using this approach. Characteristic results are discussed. The softening behaviour of shells under parametric excitation and the decrease of the buckling load under step loading, as compared with the static case, are illustrated.

Nonlinear Vibrations of a Cylindrical Shell Containing a Flowing Fluid

The Bogolyubov-Mitropolsky method is used to find approximate periodic solutions to the system of nonlinear equations that describes the large-amplitude vibrations of cylindrical shells interacting with a fluid flow. Three quantitatively different cases are studied: (i) the shell is subject to hydrodynamic pressure and external periodical loading, (ii) the shell executes parametric vibrations due to the pulsation of the fluid velocity, and (iii) the shell experiences both forced and parametric vibrations. For each of these cases, the first-order amplitude-frequency characteristic is derived and stability criteria for stationary vibrations are established__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 4, pp. 75–84, April 2005.     

Stability of Cylindrical Composite Shells under Torsion

The stability of fiber-reinforced cylindrical shells under torsion is analyzed in the case where the principal directions of elasticity in the layers do not coincide with the coordinate directions. The solution to the linearized equations of the technical theory of anisotropic shells is obtained in the form of trigonometric series. It is shown that for some reinforcement configurations the critical loads may depend on the direction of the torsional moment. It is also established that the minimum (in absolute value) eigenvalue does not always correspond to the critical load. This fact should be taken into account not only in the case of torsion but also in more complicated cases of loading __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 10, pp. 100–107, October 2005.     

Versal Deformation and Local Bifurcation Analysis of Time-Periodic Nonlinear Systems

In this study a local semi-analytical method of quantitativebifurcation analysis for time-periodic nonlinear systems is presented.In the neighborhood of a local bifurcation point the system equationsare simplified via Lyapunov–Floquet transformation whichtransforms the linear part of the equation into a dynamically equivalenttime-invariant form. Then the time-periodic center manifoldreduction is used to separate the `critical' states and reduce thedimension of the system to a possible minimum. The center manifoldequations can be simplified further via time-dependent normal formtheory. For most codimension one cases these nonlinear normal forms arecompletely time-invariant. Versal deformation of thesetime-invariant normal forms can be found and the bifurcation phenomenoncan be studied in the neighborhood of the critical point. However, ingeneral, it is not a trivial task to find a quantitatively correctversal deformation for time-periodic systems. In order to do so, onemust find a relationship between the bifurcation parameter of theoriginal time-periodic system and the versal deformation parameter ofthe time-invariant normal form. Essentially one needs to find theeigenvalues of the fundamental solution matrix of the time-periodicproblem in terms of the system parameters, which, in general, cannot bedone due to computational difficulties. In this work two ideas areproposed to achieve this goal. The eigenvalues of the fundamentalsolution matrix can be related to the versal deformation parameter bysensitivity analysis and an approximation of any desired order can beobtained. This idea requires a symbolic computational procedure whichcan be very time consuming in some cases. An alternative method issuggested for faster results in which a second or higher order curvefitting technique is used to find the relationship. Once thisrelationship is established, closed form post-bifurcation steady-statesolutions can be obtained for flip, symmetry breaking, transcritical andsecondary Hopf bifurcations. Unlike averaging and perturbation methods,the proposed technique is applicable at any bifurcation point in theparameter space. As physical examples, a simple and a double pendulumsubjected to periodic parametric excitation are considered. A simple twodegrees of freedom model is also studied and the results are comparedwith those obtained from the traditional averaging method. All resultsare verified by numerical integration. It is observed that the proposedtechnique yields results which are very close to the numericalsolutions, unlike the averaging method.

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.     

NONLINEAR VIBRATION OF CIRCULAR SANDWICH PLATES UNDER CIRCUMJACENT LOAD

Based on von Karman plate theory, the issue about nonlinear vibration for circular sandwich plates under circumjacent load with the loosely clamped boundary condition was researched. Nonlinear differential eigenvalue equations and boundary conditions of the problem were formulated by variational method and then their exact static solution can be got. The solution was derived by modified iteration method, so the analytic relations between amplitude and nonlinear oscillating frequency for circular sandwich plates were obtained. When circumjacent load makes the lowest natural frequency zero, critical load is obtained.     

Nonlinear Response of Cylindrical Shells to Random Excitation

An analytical study of nonlinear flexural vibrations of cylindrical shells to random excitation is presented. Donnell's thin-shell theory is used to develop the governing equations of motion. Thermal effects for a uniform temperature rise through the shell thickness are included in the formulation. A Monte Carlo simulation technique of stationary random processes, multi-mode Galerkin-like approach and numerical integration procedures are used to develop nonlinear response solutions of simply-supported cylindrical shells. Numerical results include time domain response histories, root-mean-square values and histograms of probability density. Comparison of Monte Carlo results is made to those obtained by statistical linearization and the Fokker–Planck equation.

Low-Dimensional Galerkin Models for Nonlinear Vibration and Instability Analysis of Cylindrical Shells

This paper discusses the derivation of discrete low-dimensional models for the non-linear vibration analysis of thin shells. In order to understand the peculiarities inherent to this class of structural problems, the non-linear vibrations and dynamic stability of a circular cylindrical shell subjected to dynamic axial loads are analyzed. This choice is based on the fact that cylindrical shells exhibit a highly non-linear behavior under both static and dynamic axial loads. Geometric non-linearities due to finite-amplitude shell motions are considered by using Donnell’s nonlinear shallow shell theory. A perturbation procedure, validated in previous studies, is used to derive a general expression for the non-linear vibration modes and the discretized equations of motion are obtained by the Galerkin method. The responses of several low-dimensional models are compared. These are used to study the influence of the modelling on the convergence of critical loads, bifurcation diagrams, attractors and large amplitude responses of the shell. It is shown that rather low-dimensional and properly selected models can describe with good accuracy the response of the shell up to very large vibration amplitudes.

Stability and load-bearing capacity of smooth and ribbed shells with local dents

A method for analysis of the stability and load-bearing capacity of imperfect smooth and ribbed shells is developed. This method is based on the finite-difference method and is implemented as an algorithm for fast calculation of critical forces, as opposed to the finite-element method. The theoretical results discussed include both early and recent results. The emphasis is on shells with local dents. The numerical results are successively corrected and compared with available experimental data for shells with a single dent and with other data. The method enables us to discover new features in the behavior of thin-walled structures under loading: development of precritical state, change in the dent shape, and exhaustion of load-bearing capacity. The lower local critical loads and upper stresses are determined. They correspond to general buckling and agree well with available experimental data.Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 40, No. 10, pp. 35–64, September 2004.
