The response of a circular cylindrical shell subjected to a moving ring load with a constant velocity has been examined in detail when both longitudinal and transverse coupling effects are included. It is found that the correction in the bending resonance velocity resulting from the inclusion of longitudinal coupling effects is small. The results of the analysis may be used as influence coefficients to determine, by means of Duhamel integrals, the displacements and stresses produced by varying pressure pulses.

Formulation is derived for buckling of the circular cylindrical shell with multiple orthotropic layers and eccentric stiffeners acting under axial compression, lateral pressure, and/or combinations thereof, based on Sanders-Koiter theory. Buckling loads of circular cylindrical laminated composite shells are obtained using Sanders-Koiter, Love, and Donnell shell theories. These theories are compared for the variations in the stiffened cylindrical shells. To further demonstrate the shell theories for buckling load, the following particular case has been discussed: Cross-Ply with N odd (symmetric) laminated orthotropic layers. For certain cases the analytical buckling loads formula is derived for the stiffened isotropic cylindrical shell, when the ratio of the principal lamina stiffness is F = E2/E1 = 1. Due to the variations in geometrical and physical parameters in theory, meaningful general results are complicated to present. Accordingly, specific numerical examples are given to illustrate application of the proposed theory and derived analytical formulas for the buckling loads. The results derived herein are then compared to similar published work.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

This study is concerned with the “Free Asymmetric Vibrations of Composite Full Circular Cylindrical Shells Stiffened by a Bonded Central Shell Segment.” The base shell is made of an orthotropic “full” circular cylindrical shell reinforced and/or stiffened by an adhesively bonded dissimilar, orthotropic “full” circular cylindrical shell segment. The stiffening shell segment is located at the mid-center of the composite system. The theoretical analysis is based on the “Timoshenko-Mindlin-(and Reissner) Shell Theory” which is a “First Order Shear Deformation Shell Theory (FSDST).” Thus, in both “base (or lower) shell” and in the “upper shell” segment, the transverse shear deformations and the extensional, translational and the rotary moments of inertia are taken into account in the formulation. In the very thin and linearly elastic adhesive layer, the transverse normal and shear stresses are accounted for. The sets of the dynamic equations, stress-resultant-displacement equations for both shells and the in-between adhesive layer are combined and manipulated and are finally reduced into a ”Governing System of the First Order Ordinary Differential Equations” in the “state-vector” form. This system is integrated by the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method (with Chebyshev Polynomials).” Some asymmetric mode shapes and the corresponding natural frequencies showing the effect of the “hard” and the “soft” adhesive cases are presented. Also, the parametric study of the “overlap length” (or the bonded joint length) on the natural frequencies in several modes is considered and plotted.

Shell Axis

The stability of a long, thin, elastic circular cylindrical shell subjected to axial compression and an axisymmetric load moving with constant velocity along the shell axis is studied. With the aid of the direct method of Liapunov, and employing a nonlinear Donnell-type shell theory, sufficient conditions for local stability of the axisymmetric response are established in a functional space whose metric is defined in an average sense. Numerical results, which are presented for the case of a moving decayed step load, reveal that the sufficient conditions for stability developed here and the sufficient conditions for instability obtained in a previous paper lead to the actual stability transition boundary.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

In this paper an experimental study on circular cylindrical shells subjected to axial compressive and periodic loads is presented. Even though many researchers have extensively studied nonlinear vibrations of cylindrical shells, experimental studies are rather limited in number. The experimental setup is explained and deeply described along with the analysis of preliminary results. The linear and the nonlinear dynamic behavior associated with a combined effect of compressive static and a periodic axial load have been investigated for different combinations of loads; moreover, a non stationary response of the structure has been observed close to one of the resonances. The linear shell behavior is also investigated by means of a finite element model, in order to enhance the comprehension of experimental results.

The Stability

Using a Donnell-type nonlinear theory and the stability in the small concept of Poincare´, the instability of an infinite-length cylindrical shell subjected to a broad class of axisymmetric loads moving with constant velocity is studied. Special cases of the general loading function include the moving-ring, step, and decayed-step loads. The analysis is carried out with a double Laplace transform, functional-difference technique. Numerical results are presented for the case of the moving-ring load.

A theory for the bending of cord composite laminate cylindrical shells is developed. The extension-twist coupling of the cords is taken into account. The general case of a circular cylindrical shell with cord plies at various angles to the shell axis is considered. The differential equations for the displacements are derived. These equations are solved analytically in closed form for a shell subjected to axisymmetric loading and no in-plane tractions. The results of the current study are compared with the commonly used Gough-Tangorra and Akasaka-Hirano solutions.

A theoretical study has been made into the elastic behavior of a joint formed by the normal intersection of a right circular cylindrical shell with another of larger diameter. The wall of the larger cylinder is assumed to remain open inside the joint in order to give an arrangement which is encountered frequently in pressure vessels or pipeline intersections. An external bending moment which acts in the plane of the joint is applied to the nozzle cylinder and is equilibriated by moments of half this magnitude applied to either end of the parent cylinder. A solution for this loading has been obtained by assuming antisymmetric distributions of certain stresses across a plane transverse to the joint. The analysis presented is believed to be valid for nozzle to cylinder diameter ratios of less than 1:3. Numerical results are given for a number of cases having radius ratios of 1:10 and 1:4.

Composite Cylindrical Shells

An analytical method for determining the load-deformation behavior of cord composite cylindrical shells is developed by considering the mechanics of the matrix, the cords, and the shell. To illustrate the method, a circular cylindrical shell with a single ply of uniformly spaced cords parallel to the shell axis is considered. The differential equations for the displacements are derived. These equations are solved analytically in closed form for a shell with the cords on the middle surface and subjected to axisymmetric loading. The deformations are strongly dependent upon the properties of the constituents, including the extension-twist coupling of the cords, and the geometry, boundary conditions, and loading.
