Book A Nonlinear Theory of Bending and Buckling of Thin Elastic Shallow Spherical Shells

Download or read book A Nonlinear Theory of Bending and Buckling of Thin Elastic Shallow Spherical Shells written by A. Ḳaplan and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shallow spherical dome subjected to lateral pressure is a structure for which the deformation departs appreciably from the linear theory at relatively small values of the deflection amplitude. It is also one for which the buckling process is characterized by a rapid decrease in the equilibrium load once the buckling load has been surpassed. For structures having this type of buckling characteristics the question arises as to whether the proper buckling criterion to apply is the classical criterion, which considers equilibrium with respect to infinitesimal displacements, or the finite-displacement "energy criteriorn" proposed by Tsien.

Book Flexible Shells

Download or read book Flexible Shells written by E. L. Axelrad and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euromech-Colloquium Nr. 165 The shell-theory development has changed its emphasis during the last two decades. Nonlinear problems have become its main motive. But the analysis was until recently predominantly devoted to shells designed for strength and stiffness. Nonlinearity is here relevant to buckling, to intensively vary able stress states. These are (with exception of some limit cases) covered by the quasi-shallow shell theory. The emphasis of the nonlinear analysis begins to shift further - to shells which are designed for and actually capable of large elastic displacements. These shells, used in industry for over a century, have been recently termedj1exible shells. The European Mechanics Colloquium 165. was concerned with the theory of elastic shells in connection with its applications to these shells. The Colloquium was intended to discuss: 1. The formulations of the nonlinear shell theory, different in the generality of kine matic hypothesis, and in the choice of dependent variables. 2. The specialization of the shell theory for the class of shells and the respective elastic stress states assuring flexibility. 3. Possibilities to deal with the complications of the buckling analysis of flexible shells, caused by the precritial perturbations of their shape and stress state. 4. Methods of solution appropriate for the nonlinear flexible-shell problems. 5. Applications of the theory. There were 71 participants the sessions were presided over (in that order) by E. Reissner, J. G. Simmonds, W. T. Koiter, R. C. Tennyson, F. A. Emmerling, E. Rarnm, E. L. Axelrad.

Book Linear Elastic Theory of Thin Shells

Download or read book Linear Elastic Theory of Thin Shells written by J. E. Gibson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linear Elastic Theory of Thin Shells presents membrane and bending theories for open and closed cylindrical shells and shells of arbitrary shape. This book aims to develop the analysis through membrane theory to bending theory for shells and to limit the type of mathematics used. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the solid material enclosed between two closely spaced doubly curved surfaces. This text then examines the five stress resultants for closed cylindrical shell. Other chapters consider the theoretical stresses that are closely related to the actual stresses determined experimentally in practice. This book discusses as well the numerical analysis of more complicated shell structures. The final chapter deals with the correlation between experimental and theoretical stresses in shells. This book is intended to be suitable for final year engineering and post-graduate students. Design and consulting engineers will also find this book extremely useful.

Book The Nonlinear Theory of Elastic Shells

Download or read book The Nonlinear Theory of Elastic Shells written by A. Libai and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nonlinear Theory of Elastic Shells: One Spatial Dimension presents the foundation for the nonlinear theory of thermoelastic shells undergoing large strains and large rotations. This book discusses several relatively simple equations for practical application. Organized into six chapters, this book starts with an overview of the description of nonlinear elastic shell. This text then discusses the foundation of three-dimensional continuum mechanics that are relevant to the shell theory approach. Other chapters cover several topics, including birods, beamshells, and axishells that begins with a derivation of the equations of motion by a descent from the equations of balance of linear and rotational momentum of a three-dimensional material continuum. This book discusses as well the approach to deriving complete field equations for one- or two-dimensional continua from the integral equations of motion and thermodynamics of a three-dimensional continuum. The final chapter deals with the analysis of unishells. This book is a valuable resource for physicists, mathematicians, and scientists.

Book Theory of Elastic Thin Shells

Download or read book Theory of Elastic Thin Shells written by A. L. Gol'Denveizer and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory of Elastic Thin Shells discusses the mathematical foundations of shell theory and the approximate methods of solution. The present volume was originally published in Russian in 1953, and remains the only text which formulates as completely as possible the different sets of basic equations and various approximate methods of shell analysis emphasizing asymptotic integration. The book is organized into five parts. Part I presents the general formulation and equations of the theory of shells, which are based on the well-known hypothesis of the preservation of the normal element. Part II is devoted to the membrane theory--the most widely used approximate method of analysis of shells that was formulated at approximately the same time as the more general bending theory. In Part III methods of analysis of circular cylindrical shells with the aid of trigonometric series are considered. Part IV is essentially mathematical in character and its purpose is to justify the approximate methods of shell analysis. In Part V approximate methods of analysis of shells are formulated.

Book Asymptotic Methods in the Buckling Theory of Elastic Shells

Download or read book Asymptotic Methods in the Buckling Theory of Elastic Shells written by P. E. Tovstik and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains solutions to the most typical problems of thin elastic shells buckling under conservative loads. The linear problems of bifurcation of shell equilibrium are considered using a two-dimensional theory of the Kirchhoff-Love type. The explicit approximate formulas obtained by means of the asymptotic method permit one to estimate the critical loads and find the buckling modes.The solutions to some of the buckling problems are obtained for the first time in the form of explicit formulas. Special attention is devoted to the study of the shells of negative Gaussian curvature, the buckling of which has some specific features. The buckling modes localized near the weakest lines or points on the neutral surface are constructed, including the buckling modes localized near the weakly supported shell edge. The relations between the buckling modes and bending of the neutral surface are analyzed. Some of the applied asymptotic methods are standard; the others are new and are used for the first time in this book to study thin shell buckling. The solutions obtained in the form of simple approximate formulas complement the numerical results, and permit one to clarify the physics of buckling.

Book A Translation of Flexible Plates and Shells

Download or read book A Translation of Flexible Plates and Shells written by Arnolʹd Sergeevich Volʹmir and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the general theory of finite deflections of thin elastic plates and shells. The nature of the governing equations is such that deflections are essentially limited to several times the plate or shell thickness, in the spirit of the usual von Karman approximation. Finite deflections of laterally loaded rectangular plates with various edge conditions are treated in detail. The postbuckling behavior of ordinary and rib-stiffened rectangular plates subject to in-plane loads is also examined. The finite deflections of circular plates subject to axisymmetric lateral or in-plane loads are examined. Finite deflections of shallow shells in the form of curved panels subject to lateral load are studied on the basis of an approximate shell theory. The postbuckling behavior of cylindrical panels subject to various in-plane normal and shear forces is treated in detail. The finite-deflection buckling of circular cylindrical shells subject to axial compression, lateral loads, or torsion is examined with a consideration of the effects of initial geometric imperfections. Lastly, the finite-deformation buckling of spherical shells and spherical caps is treated by an approximate shell theory. The approximate theories are correlated with available experimental evidence wherever possible.
