At present the orthotropic pressurized metal structure is generally used as the isotropic one, ignoring the anisotropic characteristics of material caused during rolling process. At the same time, the elastic stress analysis design method is commonly used in pressure vessel, and the load capacity coming from plasticity of material has not been utilized. Therefore, elastic-plastic analysis of orthotropic pressurized structure is of great theoretical significance and engineering value. In present paper the limit load of orthotropic titanium cylindrical shell under internal pressure was studied. By finite element method with twice elastic slope criterion the variations of limit load for orthotropic and isotropic titanium cylindrical shells under different diameter-thickness ratios were investigated. The effect of orthotropic mechanical property on limit load of titanium cylindrical shell was discussed. At the same time, the difference of limit loads between orthotropic and isotropic titanium cylindrical shells was compared. The calculation results show that the limit loads of orthotropic and isotropic titanium cylindrical shell increase with the diameter-thickness ratio, and the limit load of orthotropic titanium cylindrical shell increases more obviously. Additionally, if the yield strength of isotropic cylindrical shell is the same as or close to the yield strength of circumferential direction for orthotropic titanium cylindrical shell, the difference of limit load is smaller. While the yield strength of isotropic cylindrical shell is much different from the yield strength of circumferential direction for orthotropic titanium cylindrical shell, the difference of the limit load is higher.

Abstract Based on the Hill yield criterion, the analytical solutions of the limit load of orthotropic thick-walled pipes under pure internal pressure, bending moment and torsion are given respectively. The simplified Mises analytical solution and finite element results of limit load for isotropic thick-walled pipe are obtained. The solution verifies the reliability of the analytical solution. The paper discusses the difference of limit load of isotropic and orthotropic pipes under the conditions of pure internal pressure, pure bending moment and pure torsion moment. It is concluded that the influence of material anisotropy on the limit load is significant. The limit load of pipe under pure internal pressure is mainly determined by circumferential yield strength, pure bending is only related to axial yield strength and pure torsion moment is related to the yield strength in the 45° direction and radial yield strength.

Since pipe bend has a characteristic that extrados becomes thinner and intrados thicker after fabrication process, it can be expected to be vulnerable to extrados wall thinning due to corrosion or erosion during its operation. In this paper, limit loads of pipe bend with the thinning are computed under the loading conditions of internal pressure and bending moment. Several case studies with varying geometries and wall thinning shapes are presented. The difference in the limit loads behavior between pipe bend and welded elbow is also reviewed. The calculated plastic limit loads of pipe bend are compared with other research results for the welded elbow. The results show that pipe bend can be applied to safety-related piping systems as far as the internal pressure and bending moment only are considered.

Abstract In this paper, the Stress Compensation Method (SCM) adopting an elastic-perfectly-plastic (EPP) material is further extended to account for limited kinematic hardening (KH) material model based on the extended Melan's static shakedown theorem using a two-surface model defined by two hardening parameters, namely the initial yield strength and the ultimate yield strength. Numerical analysis of a cylindrical pipe is performed to validate the outcomes of the extended SCM. The results agree well with ones from literature. Then the extended SCM is applied to the shakedown and limit analysis of KH piping elbows subjected to internal pressure and cyclic bending moments. Various loading combinations are investigated to generate the shakedown limit and the plastic limit load interaction curves. The effects of material hardening, elbow angle and loading conditions on the shakedown limit and the plastic limit load interaction curves are presented and analysed. The present method is incorporated in the commercial finite element simulation software and can be considered as a general computational tool for shakedown analysis of KH engineering structures. The obtained results provide a useful information for the structural design and integrity assessment of practical piping elbows.

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.

An analytical approach for predicting the free vibration and elastic critical load of functionally graded material (FGM) thin cylindrical shells filled with internal pressured fluid is presented in this study. The vibration of the FGM cylindrical shell is described by the Flügge shell theory, where the internal static pressure is considered as the prestress term in the shell equations. The motion of the internal fluid is described by the acoustic wave equation. The natural frequencies of the FGM cylindrical shell under different internal pressures are obtained with the wave propagation method. The relationship between the internal pressure and the natural frequency of the cylindrical shell is analyzed. Then the linear extrapolation method is employed to obtain the elastic critical load of the FGM cylindrical shell from the condition that the increasing pressure has resulted in zero natural frequency. The accuracy of the present method is verified by comparison with the published results. The effects of gradient index, boundary conditions and structural parameters on the elastic critical load of the FGM cylindrical shell are discussed. Compared with the experimental and numerical analyses based on the external pressure, the present method is simple and easy to carry out.

The effect of asymmetric imperfection on the limit-load response of pipelines buried in shallow trenches is investigated. The pipeline is modeled as a long beam resting on a rigid foundation and a small strain, large displacement formulation is used. Three different asymmetric imperfection shapes for the beam are considered and the corresponding limit loads are compared with that for a symmetric imperfection. It is found that the shape of initial imperfection plays an important role. The difference between limit loads based on a symmetric imperfection and a nonsymmetric imperfection can be quite significant.

In this article, limit load solutions for cracked elbows containing through-wall and part through-wall axial and circumferential cracks under internal pressure and in-plane bending loading are presented. For elbows with axial cracks, limit pressure solutions are presented, and modifications to existing limit moment solutions are proposed. The foregoing limit pressure and limit moment solutions are used in conjunction with a novel interaction curve to obtain limit load solutions for elbows with axial cracks under combined pressure and moment loading. If the applied moment and pressure are within (outside) the envelope of the interaction curve, no failure (failure) is indicated. Furthermore, limit pressure and limit moment solutions for circumferentially cracked elbows are developed using the same interaction curve. Limit loads computed with the solutions presented in this work are compared with experimental results and the agreement is found to be within acceptable limits after accounting for the uncertainties in the experimental results.

Hasofer-Lind method was applied to reliability design of cylindrical shell with internal pressure. The respective reliability design thickness of different diameter ratio was obtained in the case and compared with the thickness by the second moment reliability design method. The results showed that the wall thickness of cylindrical shell with internal pressure is the thinnest by using Hasofer-Lind method. And it is closest to the wall thickness of the second moment method in which the performance function was defined as the difference in actual wall thickness and the wall thickness needed for cylindrical shell with internal pressure.
