Dynamic fracture of thin-walled cylindrical structures is studied with a large deformation meshfree method. Due to the higher order continuity and smoothness of the shape functions, meshfree methods are well suited to simulate dynamic fracture of thin-walled structures since they avoid ill-conditioning as well as stiffening in numerical computations. Simulations of detonation driven fracture in thin pipes demonstrate the efficiency of the method.

This paper deals with the dynamic analysis of reinforced thin-walled structures by means of refined one-dimensional models. Complex reinforced structures are considered which are built by using different components: skin, ribs, and stringers. Higher-order one-dimensional model based on the Carrera unified formulation (CUF) are used to model panels, stringer, and ribs by referring to a unique model. The finite element method (FEM) is used to provide a solution that deals with any boundary condition configuration. The structure is geometrically linear and the materials are isotropic and elastic. The dynamic behavior of a number of reinforced thin-walled cylindrical structures have been analyzed. The effects of the reinforcements (ribs and stringers) are investigated in terms of natural frequencies and modal-shapes. The results show a good agreement with those from commercial codes by reducing the computational costs in terms of degrees of freedom (DOFs).

The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the use of isogrid stiffeners on the stress and displacement distribution of a thin-walled cylindrical shell made of layered composites subjected to torsion. It also strives to define criteria for assessing the results of non-linear numerical analysis of models of the examined structures by comparing them with the results of the model experiment. The study contains the results of experimental research using models made of glass–epoxy composites and the results of numerical analyses in non-linear terms. The experiment was carried out using a special test stand. The research involved two types of considered structures. The results of the research allowed to create the concept of an adequate numerical model in terms of the finite element method, allowing to determine the distribution of stress and strain in the components of the studied structures. Simultaneously, the obtained conformity between the results of non-linear numerical analyses and the experiment allows to consider the results of analyses of the modified model in order to determine the properties of different stiffening variants as reliable. The presented research allows to determine the nature of the deformation of composite thin-walled structures in which local loss of stability of the covering is acceptable in the area of post-critical loads.
