Circular Cylindrical Shells

This paper presents an analytical approach to analyze the nonlinear stability of thin closed circular cylindrical shells under axial compression with material properties varying smoothly along the thickness in the power and exponential distribution laws. Equilibrium and compatibility equations are obtained by using Donnel shell theory taking into account the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman and initial geometrical imperfection.  Equations to find the critical load and the load-deflection curve are established by Galerkin's method. Effects of buckling modes, of imperfection, of dimensional parameters and of volume fraction indexes to buckling loads and postbuckling load-deflection curves of cylindrical shells are investigated. In case of perfect cylindrical shell, the present results coincide with the ones of the paper  [13] which were solved by Ritz energy method.

Stiffened Cylindrical Shells

The vibration characteristics of ring stiffened cylindrical shells are analyzed. These shells are assumed to be structured from functionally graded materials (FGM) and are stiffened with isotropic rings. The problem is formulated by coupling the expressions for strain and kinetic energies of a circular cylindrical shell with those for rings. The Lagrangian function is framed by taking difference of strain and kinetic energies. The Rayleigh-Ritz approach is employed to obtain shell dynamical equations. The axial model dependence is approximated by characteristic beam functions that satisfy the boundary conditions. The validity and efficiency of the present technique are verified by comparisons of present results with the previous ones determined by other researchers.
