Pressure buckling of end supported shells of revolution

A reduced stiffness theoretical analysis of imperfection sensitive elastic buckling for end supported cooling tower-type shells, provides lower bounds of experimentally recorded buckling pressures. Classical analysis of these shells with the same empirically realistic boundary support conditions, in contrast, provides unreliable upper bounds of test buckling pressures. By attempting to attribute this imperfection sensitivity to notionally weakened boundary conditions, past interpretations may have provided non-conservative advice for the estimation of design buckling pressures. The reduced stiffness method provides a simple, alternative basis for designing against imperfection sensitive buckling.     

铝合金轴心受压构件局部整体相关稳定试验研究

铝合金轴压构件局部与整体相关稳定性能,在国内外尚无系统的研究。为此,该文对12根铝合金6061-T6和6063-T5工形截面轴心受压构件的局部整体相关稳定性能进行试验研究,包括其破坏形式、变形性能以及极限承载力等。将试验结果与中国规范、欧洲规范、美国规范和澳大利亚/新西兰规范计算结果进行对比分析,验证各规范设计方法的可靠性。采用有限元软件ANSYS对试验结果进行模拟计算。研究结果表明：有限元模型能够准确地计算铝合金轴压构件的承载力,可以应用在下一步的参数分析中;各国规范设计方法对弱硬化合金承载力计算的准确程度优于强硬化合金;美规和澳规对弱硬化合金极限承载力的计算较准确,但是对强硬化合金的计算偏于保守;中国规范和欧规分别考虑局部失稳和整体失稳,并将两者的影响进行叠加,计算结果过于保守。因此,需要调整中国规范中的参数,以得到更加合理的设计。     

Thermal and mechanical instability of functionally graded truncated conical shells

Thermal and mechanical instability of truncated conical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) is studied in this paper. It is assumed that the shell is a mixture of metal and ceramic that its properties changes as a function of the shell thickness. The governing equations are based on the first-order shell theory and the Sanders nonlinear kinematics equations. The results are obtained for a number of thermal and mechanical loads and are validated with the known data in the literature.

Response of stiffened and unstiffened plates subjected to blast loading

This paper describes the results of dynamic analyses carried out on both stiffened and unstiffened panels using both simplified and advanced analytical techniques. For unstiffened panels with inplane restraint along their edges, the dynamic response of an imperfect panel was predicted using a large displacement elastic analysis based on Lagrange's equation, with the panel being treated as a shallow shell. For stiffened panels, the finite element (FE) technique was used to establish the validity of using the simplified technique to predict the inter-stiffener panel displacements for a simply supported panel. A parametric study has been carried out to analyse the effects of in-plane boundary conditions, local stiffener buckling and initial imperfections on the overall response. The significant effect of boundary conditions is demonstrated by including the actual boundary conditions of a test frame in the finite element modelling of a large-scale stiffened floorplate panel used in an experimental test series.
