Stiffened Cylindrical Shells

The initial postbuckling behavior of axially stiffened cylindrical shells is studied with a view to ascertaining the extent to which various effects such as stringer eccentricity, load eccentricity, and barreling influence the imperfection-sensitivity of these structures to buckling. In most cases, when these effects result in an increase in the buckling load of the perfect structure, they increase its imperfection-sensitivity as well. In some instances, however, barreling can significantly raise the buckling load of the shell while reducing its imperfection-sensitivity. The analysis, which is based on Koiter’s general theory of postbuckling behavior and is made within the context of Ka´rma´n-Donnell-type theory, takes into account nonlinear prebuckling deformations and different boundary conditions.

This paper deals with the initial postbuckling of antisymmetric cross-ply closed cylindrical shells under torsion. Under the assumptions employed in Koiter’s theory of elastic stability, the structure is imperfection-sensitive in certain intermediate ranges of the reduced-Batdorf parameter (approx. 4 ≤ ZH ≤ 20.0). Due to different material bending-stretching coupling behavior, the (0 deg inside, 90 deg outside) two-layer clamped cylinder is less imperfection sensitive than the (90 deg inside, 0 deg outside) configuration. The increase in torsional buckling load due to a higher value of Young’s moduli ratio is not necessarily accompanied by a higher degree of imperfection-sensitivity. The paper is the first to consider imperfection shape to be identical to the torsional buckling mode and presents concise parameter variations involving the reduced-Batdorf paramter and Young’s moduli ratio.

Circumferential Crack

In this paper, buckling analysis of cylindrical shells with a circumferential crack is presented. The analyses were performed both numerically using FEM and experimentally. The numerical analyses and experiments were conducted for several crack lengths and radius of curvature, and two different boundary conditions were applied, i.e. simply support and clamp in all sides. The results show the effect of the presence of crack to the critical buckling load of the shells. There are good agreements between experimental and numerical results.

The presence of cracks or similar imperfections can considerably reduce the buckling load of a shell structure. In this paper, buckling analysis of cylindrical shells with a longitudinal crack is presented. Numerical buckling analyses of cylindrical shells were performed using FEM, and verified by experiment. The numerical analyses and experiments were conducted for several crack lengths and radius of curvature, and two different boundary conditions were applied, i.e. simply support and clamp in all sides. The results show the effect of the presence of crack to the critical buckling load of the shells. There are good agreements between experimental and numerical results.

Stiffened Cylindrical Shells

This paper deals with the effect of stringer axial stiffness, torsional rigidity, and eccentricity on the panel initial postbuckling behavior and mode interaction of axially stiffened cylindrical shells. As far as the local panel mode is concerned, the cylinder is taken to be integrally stiffened and the postbuckling redistribution of the axial load-carrying capacity between the skin and stringers is investigated. It is found that although the buckling analysis is more or less identical to previous analyses, there are significant changes in the quartic term of the potential energy of the local mode and hence, the imperfection-sensitivity of the structure is altered. These changes are due to the interaction between the stringers and the skin in the postbuckling analysis. In addition, to assess the effect of a nonlinear prebuckling state resulting from the presence of local imperfections, Koiter’s theory of amplitude modulation of the local mode is applied to an example problem of interest.
