Introduction. It is necessary to improve methods of analysis of the limit states, occurring when a thin-walled shell is in the elastoplastic domain, to use these cylindrical shells as elements of heavily loaded products of construction and machine building industries. Materials and methods. The problem of stability of a circular thin-walled cylindrical shell, made of steel 45 GOST 1050-2013, that takes the load induced by pure compression and axial torsion, has been studied. Besides, experimental and theoretical components of the problem have been analyzed. Experimental facility SN-EVM was applied to perform an experiment test and analyze its findings in terms of different versions of the theory of plasticity used to solve shell stability problems beyond the elastic limit. The co-authors emphasize the unavailability of any definition of the criterion of stability loss under combined loading based on experimental dependences that were identified earlier. The results of the experiment were compared with the results of the theoretical study. The analysis of the shell stability in the case of complex subcritical loading are based on the A.A. Ilyushin theory of stability, in which plasticity functions are taken according to V.G. Zubchaninov’s approximations. Results. The problem was solved using the software programme, developed by the co-authors. The software solves the bifurcation problem of a cylindrical shell with regard for the complex nature of deformations at the moment of stability loss in the case of exposure to complex subcritical loading, commensurable processes and the trajectory that has the form of circular arcs. It has been shown that the proposed method of analysis and approximations describe the real stress-strain state of shells that feature low flexibility in respect of a complex pattern of deformation and characterize a stable state of the material beyond the elastic limit. Conclusions. The theoretical strength and deformability analysis of a cylindrical shell and its experimental studies demonstrate sufficient convergence which proves their reliability. This conclusion will allow to improve the process of design of structural elements made of materials that have complex mechanical properties.

The fracture mechanical behaviour of thin-walled structures with cracks is highly significant for structural strength design, safety and reliability analysis, and defect evaluation. In this study, the effects of various factors on the fracture parameters, crack initiation angles and plastic zones of thin-walled cylindrical shells with cracks are investigated. First, based on the J-integral and displacement extrapolation methods, the stress intensity factors of thin-walled cylindrical shells with circumferential cracks and compound cracks are studied using linear elastic fracture mechanics, respectively. Second, based on the theory of maximum circumferential tensile stress of compound cracks, the number of singular elements at a crack tip is varied to determine the node of the element corresponding to the maximum circumferential tensile stress, and the initiation angle for a compound crack is predicted. Third, based on the J-integral theory, the size of the plastic zone and J-integral of a thin-walled cylindrical shell with a circumferential crack are analysed, using elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. The results show that the stress in front of a crack tip does not increase after reaching the yield strength and enters the stage of plastic development, and the predicted initiation angle of an oblique crack mainly depends on its original inclination angle. The conclusions have theoretical and engineering significance for the selection of the fracture criteria and determination of the failure modes of thin-walled structures with cracks.

Thin Walled

A finite-element procedure for the determination of buckling pressure of thin-walled cylindrical shells used in ocean structures is presented. The derivation of the elastic and geometric stiffness matrices is discussed in detail followed by a succinct description of the computer program developed by the authors during the course of this study for the determination of the buckling pressure. Particular attention is paid to the boundary conditions which strongly influence the buckling pressure. Applications involving the interstiffener buckling in submersible hulls and cylindrical shells with stepwise variation in wall thickness are considered and the results compared with the solutions and procedures available in the literature.
