AbstractBy means of ping-pong balls, the dynamic buckling behaviours of thin-walled spherical shells under impact loading are studied both experimentally and numerically. First, the quasi-static tests were conducted on an MTS tester, in which the ball was compressed onto a PMMA plate. Apart from the force-displacement relationship, the evolution of the contact zone between the ball and the plate was obtained by a digital camera. In the impact tests, ping-pong balls were accelerated by an air-gun and then impinged onto a rigid plate with the velocity ranging 10–45 m

This paper presents the results of a numerical study of the buckling and initial post-buckling behavior of clamped shallow spherical shells under axisymmetric ring loads. This behavior is studied for a cap with fixed geometry when the location of the ring load is allowed to vary from the equivalent of a concentrated load at the apex to a location near the midpoint of the shell base radius, and for a fixed ring load location when the shell geometry is allowed to vary. It is found in both studies that a significant range of the geometric shell parameter λ exists such that buckling is accompanied by a loss in load-carrying capacity.

This article presents the results of a numerical study of the stress concentration around two equal and unequal holes in an orthotropic spherical shell made of composite materials under the action of internal pressure. The influence of geometric (hole radii, shell thickness, distance between holes) characteristics, as well as material orthotropy and shear stiffness, on the stress state of spherical shells made of composite materials is studied. A numerical algorithm based on the finite element method has been developed and a software package has been implemented on a computer that allows solving the problem of stress concentration near two unequal holes in spherical shells made of composite materials.
