Thin Elastic Cylindrical Shell

The paper considers problem of buckling of a thin elastic cylindrical shell, supported by rings of various stiffness. The approximate solution for clamping edge was obtained with analytical Rayleigh-Ritz method. The parameters of the optimal distribution of the mass of the structure between the shell and the stiffeners are found in order to maximize the critical pressure. Frames with zero eccentricity are considered. The obtained analytical solutions are compared with the solution by the finite element method.

Element Method

The finite element method is a numerical method that is used to find solution of mathematical and engineering problems. It basically deals with partial differential equations. It is very complex for civil engineers to study various structures by using analytical method,so they prefer finite element methods over the analytical methods. As it is an approximate solution, therefore several limitationsare associated in the applicationsin civil engineering due to misinterpretationof analyst. Hence, the main aim of the paper is to study the finite element method in details along with the benefits and limitations of using this method in analysis of building components like beams, frames, trusses, slabs etc.

Element Method

The concept of the finite-element procedure may be dated back to 1943 when Courant approximated the warping function linearly in each of an assemblage of triangular elements to the St. Venant torsion problem and proceeded to formulate the problem using the principle of minimum potential energy. Similar ideas were used later by several investigators to obtain the approximate solutions to certain boundary-value problems. It was Clough who first introduced the term “finite elements” in the study of plane elasticity problems. The equivalence of this method with the well-known Ritz method was established at a later date, which made it possible to extend the applications to a broad spectrum of problems for which a variational formulation is possible. Since then numerous studies have been reported on the theory and applications of the finite-element method. In this and next chapters the finite-element formulations necessary for the deformation analysis of metal-forming processes are presented. For hot forming processes, heat transfer analysis should also be carried out as well as deformation analysis. Discretization for temperature calculations and coupling of heat transfer and deformation are discussed in Chap. 12. More detailed descriptions of the method in general and the solution techniques can be found in References [3-5], in addition to the books on the finite-element method listed in Chap. 1. The path to the solution of a problem formulated in finite-element form is described in Chap. 1 (Section 1.2). Discretization of a problem consists of the following steps: (1) describing the element, (2) setting up the element equation, and (3) assembling the element equations. Numerical analysis techniques are then applied for obtaining the solution of the global equations. The basis of the element equations and the assembling into global equations is derived in Chap. 5. The solution satisfying eq. (5.20) is obtained from the admissible velocity fields that are constructed by introducing the shape function in such a way that a continuous velocity field over each element can be denned uniquely in terms of velocities of associated nodal points.

This paper is concerned with the convergence characteristics and application of the Rayleigh-Ritz based substructure synthesis method to structures for which the use of a kinematical procedure taking into account all the compatibility conditions, is not possible. It is demonstrated that the synthesis in this case is characterized by the fact that the mass and stiffness matrices have the embedding property. Consequently, the estimated eigenvalues comply with the inclusion principle, which in turn can be utilized to prove convergence of the approximate solution. The method is applied to a frame and is compared with the finite element method. [S0739-3717(00)00201-4]

The aim of research is to compare two calculation methods using the example of solving the axisymmetric thermoelasticity problem. Methods. The calculation of a thick-walled cylindrical shell on the temperature effect was carried out by the numerical-analytical method and the finite element method, implemented in the LIRA-CAD software package. The shell consists of three layers: two layers of heat-resistant concrete and an outer steel layer. In the calculation, a piecewise linear inhomogeneity of the shell due to its three-layer structure and continuous inhomogeneity caused by the influence of a stationary temperature field is taken into account. The numerical-analytical method of calculation involves the derivation of a resolving differential equation, which is solved by the sweep method, it is possible to take into account the nonlinear nature of the deformation of the material using the method of successive approximations. To solve this problem by the finite element method, a similar computational model of the shell was constructed in the LIRA-CAD software package. The solution of the problem of thermoelasticity for an infinite cylinder (under conditions of a plane deformed state) and for a cylinder of finite length with free ends is given. Results . Comparison of the calculation results is carried out according to the obtained values of ring stresses σθ.

Eigenfunction convergence characteristics of the finite element method and the Rayleigh-Ritz method with quasicomparison functions (RRMM) are compared. The RRMM has previously proved to be superior in comparing eigenvalue convergence characteristics. The importance of studying natural mode convergence is associated to the fact that the general response of a structure is a linear combination of these characteristic functions; in other words, accurate structural response attainment demands accurate structural modes in the analysis. It is shown that in this case the RRMM also produces superior results. A refined definition of quasicomparison functions is advanced.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

The finite element method is applied to the creep buckling of circular cylindrical shells under axial compression. Not only the axisymmetric mode but also the bifurcation mode of the creep buckling are considered in the analysis. The critical time for creep buckling is defined as either the time when a slope of a displacement versus time curve becomes infinite or the time when the bifurcation buckling occurs. The creep buckling analyses are carried out for an infinitely long and axially compressed circular cylindrical shell with an axisymmetric initial imperfection and for a finitely long and axially compressed circular cylindrical shell. The numerical results are compared with available analytical ones and experimental data.
