Book excerpt: Spherical shells are widely used in aerospace, mechanical, marine, and other industrial applications. Accordingly, the accurate determination of their behavior becomes more and more important. One of the most important problems in spherical shell behavior is the determination of buckling loads either experimentally or theoretically. Therefore, in this study some elastic and plastic buckling problems associated with spherical shells are investigated. The first part of this research study presents the analytical, numerical, and experimental results of moderately thick and thin hemispherical metal shells into the plastic buckling range illustrating the importance of geometry changes on the buckling load. The hemispherical shell is rigidly supported around the base circumference against horizontal translation and the load is vertically applied by a rigid cylindrical boss (Loading actuator) at the apex. Kinematics stages of initial buckling and subsequent propagation of plastic deformation for a rigid-perfectly plastic shell models are formulated on the basis of Drucker- Shield's limited interaction yield condition. The effect of the radius of the boss used to apply the loading, on the initial and subsequent collapse load is studied. In the numerical model, the material is assumed to be isotropic and linear elastic perfectly plastic without strain hardening obeying the Tresca or Von Mises yield criterion. Finally, the results of the analytical solution are compared and verified with the numerical results using ABAQUS software and experimental findings. Good agreement is observed between the load-deflection curves obtained using three different fundamental approaches. In the second part, the Southwell's nondestructive method for columns is analytically extended to spherical shells subjected to uniform external pressure acting radially. Subsequently finite element simulation and experimental work shown that the theory is applicable to spherical shells with an arbitrary axi-symmetrical loading too. The results showed that the technique provides a useful estimate of the elastic buckling load provided care is taken in interpreting the results. The usefulness of the method lies in its generality, simplicity and in the fact that, it is non-destructive. Moreover, it does not make any assumption regarding the number of buckling waves or the exact localization of buckling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of plasticity on the buckling load of a shallow spherical shell cap which is clamped about its edge and subjected to an external pressure was investigated. The shell is a sandwich idealization of a uniform shell and is made of a Prandtl-Reuss material. The problem of finding the buckling load of the cap is solved by using a variational principle written in terms of displacement rates and the current state of stress in the shell. A Rayleigh-Ritz technique is used to obtain the final solution to the problem and regions of loading and unloading are determined throughout the shell. The results of the study are in agreement with the elastic solutions which have already been determined and with studies of the plastic collapse of a spherical cap made f a rigid perfectly plastic material. The results bridge the gap which now exists between these two extreme situations. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theoretical investigation is undertaken into the dynamic instability of complete spherical shells which are loaded impulsively. The linear elastic, elastic-plastic and rigid-plastic material idealizations are used in the various theoretical procedures. The threshold velocities for the elastic and rigid-plastic models are larger than those for cylindrical shells having the same R/h ratios and material parameters, while the critical mode numbers are similar.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of this book is to clarify the whole aspect of the basic problems concerning the elastic stability of of circular cylindrical shells under typical loading conditions. The book deals with buckling, postbuckling and initial postbuckling problems under one of the three fundamental loads, that is, torsion, pressure and compression. The emphases are placed on the accurate analysis and comprehensive numeral results for the buckling problem, experimental verification of the theoretical analysis for the postbuckling problem and clarification of the range of applicability of the perturbation method for the analysis of initial postbuckling behaviors and imperfection sensitivity. The problems under typical combined loads as well as the influence of the contained liquid are also clarified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thin shells are very popular structures in many different branches of engineering. There are the domes, water and cooling towers, the contain ments in civil engineering, the pressure vessels and pipes in mechanical and nuclear engineering, storage tanks and platform components in marine and offshore engineering, the car bodies in the automobile industry, planes, rockets and space structures in aeronautical engineering, to mention only a few examples of the broad spectrum of application. In addition there is the large applied mechanics group involved in all the computational and experimental work in this area. Thin shells are in a way optimal structures. They play the role of·the "primadonnas" among all kinds of structures. Their performance can be extraordinary, but they can also be very sensitive. The susceptibility to buckling is a typical example. David Bushnell says in his recent review paper entitled "Buckling of Shells - Pitfall for DeSigners": "To the layman buckling is a mysterious, perhaps even awe inspiring phenomenon that transforms objects originally imbued with symmetrical beauty into junk".

Download or read book A Comparative Study on the Elastic Plastic Collapse Strength of Initially Imperfect Deep Spherical Shells written by Robert Kao and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finite-difference method for the large deformation elastic-plastic analysis of spherical caps is applied to predict the collapse strength of initially imperfect deep spherical shells. Twelve uniformly loaded hemispherical shell models with flat spots at their apex are analyzed. For each model, a number of shallow spherical regions containing the flat spot are selected from its domain. One of these selected shallow regions yields a minimum buckling pressure; this minimum value is taken as the theoretical buckling load for the shell model under consideration. Present solutions are in good agreement with existing experimental and empirical results. The good comparison suggests that initially imperfect deep spherical shells may be analyzed by using a much simpler mathematical model - the spherical cap, and thus the analytical cost may be greatly reduced. This also demonstrates that the collapse of imperfect spherical shells is primarily a local phenomenon and therefore dependent on local geometry. Consequently, the presence of initial imperfections must be fully taken into consideration in any large deformation inelastic buckling analysis before such analysis can be expected to quantitatively predict the collapse strength of practical shell structures.
