ABSTRACTThe imperfection sensitivity of cylindrical panels under compression loading is shown to be not only reduced but effectively eliminated using stiffness tailoring techniques. Shells are designed with variable angle-tow (VAT) laminae, giving their laminates variable-stiffness properties over the surface co-ordinates. By employing an asymptotic model of the non-linear shell behaviour and a genetic algorithm, the post-buckling stability was maximised with respect to the VAT design variables. Results for optimised straight-fibre and VAT shells are presented in comparison with quasi-isotropic designs. In the straight-fibre case, small improvements in the post-buckling stability are shown to be possible but at the expense of the buckling load. In the VAT case, on the other hand, considerable improvements in the post-buckling stability are obtained and drops in axial stiffness and load associated with buckling are reduced to negligible levels. The improvements are shown to be a result of a benign membrane stress distribution prior to buckling and a localisation of the buckling mode. The asymptotic results are compared with non-linear finite-element analyses and are found to be in good agreement. Potential future multi-objective optimisation studies are discussed.

This article presents the overall methodology and the results of the three-dimensional (3D) finite element buckling analysis of the primary containment drywell shell at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Oyster Creek). The buckling stresses, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors are computed using ANSYS finite element analysis software [1], and the structural integrity of the drywell in terms of the buckling (stability) limits are based on the ASME B&PV Code Case N-284-1 [2].

High Arch Dams

As a result of many high arch dams that are building and would be built in the south-west and north-west of China, arch dam is a kind of compressed thin buckle, not only effect by tension, but also by deformation. Thinner dam body with usage of increased levels of concrete and optimum designing, the local regions of high arch dams approach thin shell structure，which will lead to the structural buckling. Base on the above present condition, this paper would establish a series of generalized high and thin arch dam models whose height are 240m, and make theoretical analysis based on one of the crown- cantilever method- differential method for them, which attempts to provide a new method for the" critical flexibility coefficient ". At last, this paper would provide the relation between coefficient and buckling stability of high arch dam
