This paper investigates the elastic axisymmetric buckling of a thin, simply supported functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shell embedded with an elastic layer under axial compression. The analysis is based on energy method and simplified nonlinear strain-displacement relations for axial compression. Material properties of functionally graded cylindrical shell are considered graded in the thickness direction according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Using minimum potential energy together with Euler equations, equilibrium equations are obtained. Consequently, stability equation of functionally graded cylindrical shell with an elastic layer is acquired by means of minimum potential energy theory and Trefftz criteria. Another analysis is made using the equivalent properties of FG material. Numerical results for stainless steel-ceramic cylindrical shell and aluminum layer are obtained and critical load curves are analyzed for a cylindrical shell with an elastic layer. A comparison is made to the results in the literature. The results show that the elastic stability of functionally graded cylindrical shell with an elastic layer is dependent on the material composition and FGM index factor, and the shell geometry parameters and it is concluded that the application of an elastic layer increases elastic stability and significantly reduces the weight of cylindrical shells.

The body of the new-type dry gas holder is a large stiffened cylindrical shell. Limited by the test site and economic conditions, the buckling characteristics of such holders are generally studied through scale model experiments. Taking the longitudinal-ring rectangular stiffened cylindrical shell as the research object, the generalized similitude condition and scaling principle formula of the structure are derived innovatively based on Donnell’s assumption and the energy method. By means of displacement loading and node coordinates updating, dimple imperfections are introduced into the ideal structure of the stiffened cylindrical shell, and then, the complete similitude and partial similitude analysis of axial compression nonlinear buckling for imperfect structures are carried out. The analysis results show that the complete similitude analysis of stiffened cylindrical shell axial-compression nonlinear buckling can be realized accurately; the partial similitude model for stiffened cylindrical shell axial-compression nonlinear buckling can better predict the buckling characteristics of its prototype structures, and the closer the Poisson’s ratio between the model and the prototype materials is, the more accurate the prediction results are. Meanwhile, the generalized similitude condition and scaling principle formula derived based on the energy method can provide useful reference for the model design and experimental verification of the axial compression buckling of the stiffened cylindrical shell with local geometric imperfections.

Damping Loss Factor

The ANSYS harmonic response results are post-processed with the energy method to obtain the damping loss factor (DLF) of different types of free damping structures. Firstly, the DLF of free damping cylindrical shell in air is compared with DLF of free damping plate in air. Secondly, the DLF of free damping cylindrical shell with stiffened ribs in air is compared with that without stiffened ribs in air. Thirdly, the DLF of free damping cylindrical shell in water is compared with the DLF of free damping plate in water. Fourthly, the DLF of free damping cylindrical shell with stiffened ribs in water is compared with that without stiffened ribs in water. In the end, based on the above analysis, the backing design problem in air and water are discussed. Studies have shown that: DLF of free damping cylindrical shell is close to that of free damping plate in air; DLF of free damping cylindrical shell with stiffened ring ribs is close to that without stiffened ring ribs in air; When testing free damping cylindrical shells DLF in air, plate with the same thickness can be used as the backing; DLF of free damping plate is close to that of free damping cylindrical shell in water; DLF of free damping cylindrical shell with stiffened ring ribs is close to that without stiffened ring ribs in water; When testing free damping cylindrical shells DLF in water, plate with the same thickness can be used as the backing.
