This study deals with the buckling of thin cylindrical shells submitted to combined loads such internal pressure, bending and axial compression. A large experimental investigation is conducted and some explanations on the behavior of such loaded structures and on the influence of distinct parameters are gauged. The parametrical studies show the stabilising effect of low internal pressure and a drop of the load capacity for high internal pressure due to the plasticity effect. Specific recommendations are finally established for the design.

The stress analysis of a multi-mitred pipe bend when subjected to an internal pressure and a simultaneous in-plane or out-of-plane bending load has been developed. Stress patterns and flexibility factors calculated by this analysis are compared with experimental results from a large-diameter, thin-walled, three-weld, 90° multi-mitred bend which was subjected to in-plane bending tests at various internal pressures.

Purpose: The aim of the work was to analyse the critical state of thin-walled composite profiles with top-hat cross section under axial compression. Design/methodology/approach: The purpose of the work was achieved by using known approximation methods in experimental and finite element methods for numerical simulations. The scope of work included an analysis of the behavior of thin-walled composite structures in critical state with respect to numerical studies verified experimentally. Findings: In the presented work were determined the values of critical loads related to the loss of stability of the structures by using well-known approximation methods and computer simulations (FEM analysis). Research limitations/implications: The research presented in the paper is about the potential possibility of determining the values of critical loads equivalent to loss of stability of thin-walled composite structures and the future possibility of analyzing limit states related to loss of load capacity. Practical implications: The practical approach in the actual application of the described specimen and methodology of study is related to the necessity of carrying out of strength analyzes, allowing for a precise assessment of the loads upon which the loss of stability (bifurcation) occurs. Originality/value: The originality of the research is closely associated with used the thinwalled composite profile with top-hat cross-section, which is commonly used in the fuselage of passenger airplane. The methodology of simultaneous confrontation of the obtained results of critical loads by using approximation methods and using the linear eigenvalue solution in numerical analysis demonstrates the originality of the research character. Presented results and the methodology are intended for researchers, who are concerned with the topic of loss of stability of thin-walled composite structures.

Composite Cylinders

The internal pressure of a thin-walled cylindrical structure under axial compression may improve the buckling stability by relieving loads and reducing initial imperfections. In this study, the effect of internal pressure on the buckling knockdown factor is investigated for axially compressed thin-walled composite cylinders with different shell thickness ratios and slenderness ratios. Various shell thickness ratios and slenderness ratios are considered when the buckling knockdown factor is derived for the thin-walled composite cylinders under both axial compression and internal pressure. Nonlinear post-buckling analyses are conducted using the nonlinear finite element analysis program, ABAQUS. The single perturbation load approach is used to represent the geometric initial imperfection of thin-walled composite cylinders. For cases with the axial compressive force only, the buckling knockdown factor decreases as the shell thickness ratio increases or as the slenderness ratio increases. When the internal pressure is considered simultaneously with the axial compressive force, the buckling knockdown factor decreases as the slenderness ratio increases but increases as the shell thickness ratio increases. The buckling knockdown factors considering the internal pressure and axial compressions are higher by 2.67% to 38.98% compared with the knockdown factors considering the axial compressive force only. The results show the significant effect of the internal pressure, particularly for thinner composite cylinders, and that the buckling knockdown factors may be enhanced for all the shell thickness ratios and slenderness ratios considered in this study when the internal pressure is applied to the cylinder.

In the action of bending load and axial compression, the deflection of the beam presents character of geometry nonlinear. For the thin-walled carbon fiber laminated box beam column, the beam deflections not only relate with load but also with the ply angle of layer, span width ratio. By using the method of numerical, this paper analyzed and summarized the beam deflection variation with the span width ratio, ply angle, the axial compression ratio for the simply supported laminated box beam column under the axial compression and bending load.
