Book Theory of Elastic Stability

Download or read book Theory of Elastic Stability written by Luis A. Godoy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-11-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a unified presentation of the field of stability. Buckling and post-buckling states are studied on the basis of total potential energy of structural systems. Emphasis is placed throughout the text on post-buckling analysis and behaviour. The sensitivity of buckling and post-buckling states to changes in design parameters is also discussed as well as changes due to imperfections and damage.

Book Buckling and Post Buckling Structures

Download or read book Buckling and Post Buckling Structures written by B. G. Falzon and published by Imperial College Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth treatment of the study of the stability of engineering structures. Contributions from internationally recognized leaders in the field ensure a wide coverage of engineering disciplines in which structural stability is of importance, in particular the analytical and numerical modelling of structural stability applied to aeronautical, civil, marine and offshore structures. The results from a number of comprehensive experimental test programs are also presented, thus enhancing our understanding of stability phenomena as well as validating the analytical and computational solution schemes presented. A variety of structural materials are investigated with special emphasis on carbon-fibre composites, which are being increasingly utilized in weight-critical structures. Instabilities at the meso- and micro-scales are also discussed. This book will be particularly relevant to professional engineers, graduate students and researchers interested in structural stability.

Book Computerized buckling analysis of shells

Download or read book Computerized buckling analysis of shells written by D. Bushnell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the work performed by Lockheed Palo Alto Research Labora tory, Palo Alto, California 94304. The work was sponsored by Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Bolling AFB, Washington, D. C. under Grant F49620-77-C-0l22 and by the Flight Dynamics Laboratory, Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio under Contract F3361S-76-C-31OS. The work was completed under Task 2307Nl, "Basic Research in Behavior of Metallic and Composite Components of Airframe Structures". The work was admini stered by Lt. Col. J. D. Morgan (AFOSR) and Dr. N. S. Khot (AFWAL/FIBRA). The contract work was performed between October 1977 and December 1980. The technical report was released by the Author in December 1981. Preface Many structures are assembled from parts which are thin. For example, a stiffened plate or cylindrical panel is composed of a sheet the thickness of which is small com pared to its length, breadth, and stiffener- spacing, and stiffeners the thickness of which is small compared to their _ heights and lengths. These assembled structures, loaded in compression, can buckle overall, that is sheet and stiffeners can collapse together in a general instability mode; the sheet can buckle locally between stiffeners; the stiffeners can cripple; and a variety of complex buckling interactions can occur involving local and overall deformations of both sheet and stiffeners. More complex, built-up structures can buckle in more complex and subtle ways.

Book A Review of Imperfection Sensitivity of Stiffened Shells

Download or read book A Review of Imperfection Sensitivity of Stiffened Shells written by R. L. Citerley and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short history is related about how imperfections (i.e., deviations from the assumed theoretical form of a shell structure) came to be regarded as the major contributor to the experimental scatter observed in shell buckling tests, and the discrepancy between experimentally determined buckling loads and those determined by classical linear theory. J.M.T. Thompson's insight into the relationship between imperfection sensitivity and optimality of shell structures with respect to load configurations is brought out. The significant contributions to understanding elastic postbuckling behavior of thin stiffened shells and how this work relates to imperfection sensitivity are reviewed. The implications of this work and its applicability to current engineering design and analysis are assessed. The effects of geometric imperfections as well as those induced by boundary conditions or multiple load cases on the postbuckling behavior of shells are discussed. Added discussions by Profs. Singer and van Neut are also presented. (Author).

Book Elasto Plastic and Damage Analysis of Plates and Shells

Download or read book Elasto Plastic and Damage Analysis of Plates and Shells written by George Z Voyiadjis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-23 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shells and plates are critical structures in numerous engineering applications. Analysis and design of these structures is of continuing interest to the scienti c and engineering communities. Accurate and conservative assessments of the maximum load carried by a structure, as well as the equilibrium path in both the elastic and inelastic range, are of paramount importance to the engineer. The elastic behavior of shells has been closely investigated, mostly by means of the nite element method. Inelastic analysis however, especially accounting for damage effects, has received much less attention from researchers. In this book, we present a computational model for nite element, elasto-plastic, and damage analysis of thin and thick shells. Formulation of the model proceeds in several stages. First, we develop a theory for thick spherical shells, providing a set of shell constitutive equations. These equations incorporate the effects of transverse shear deformation, initial curvature, and radial stresses. The proposed shell equations are conveniently used in nite element analysis. 0 AsimpleC quadrilateral, doubly curved shell element is developed. By means of a quasi-conforming technique, shear and membrane locking are prevented. The element stiffness matrix is given explicitly, making the formulation computationally ef cient. We represent the elasto-plastic behavior of thick shells and plates by means of the non-layered model, using an Updated Lagrangian method to describe a small-strain geometric non-linearity. For the treatment of material non-linearities, we adopt an Iliushin’s yield function expressed in terms of stress resultants, with isotropic and kinematic hardening rules.
