The paper presents new experimental results on the collapse of unstiffened aluminum alloy circular cylinders suffering elastic and plastic nonsymmetric bifurcation buckling under external hydrostatic pressure. These results complement the results given in two previous Marine Technology papers written by the senior author, which were intended for the structural design of near-perfect unstiffened and ring-stiffened circular conical shells under external hydrostatic pressure. The present paper presents a structural design chart for geometrically imperfect circular cylinders under uniform external pressure, which is more likely to be used than the design charts for the previous near-perfect vessels because it represents the more "usual" case. In addition to an experimental analysis, theoretical analyses were also carried out. An analytical solution by von Mises was used, together with a finite element analysis solution, using the Shell 93 element of the ANSYS computer package. Comparison between ANSYS and the analytical solution was reasonable. A design chart is provided, which looks like it could be quite useful for practical purposes.

Ductile To Brittle Transition

The ductile-to-brittle cutting mode transition in single grit diamond scribing of monocrystalline silicon is investigated in this paper. Specifically, the effects of scriber tip geometry, coefficient of friction, and external hydrostatic pressure on the critical depth of cut associated with ductile-to-brittle transition and crack generation are studied via an eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) based model, which is experimentally validated. Scribers with a large tip radius are shown to produce lower tensile stresses and a larger critical depth of cut compared with scribers with a sharp tip. Spherical tipped scribers are shown to generate only surface cracks, while sharp tipped scribers (conical, Berkovich and Vickers) are found to create large subsurface tensile stresses, which can lead to nucleation of subsurface median/lateral cracks. Lowering the friction coefficient tends to increase the critical depth of cut and hence the extent of ductile mode cutting. The results also show that larger critical depth of cut can be obtained under external hydrostatic pressure. This knowledge is expected to be useful in optimizing the design and application of the diamond coated wire employed in fixed abrasive diamond wire sawing of photovoltaic silicon wafers.

This paper present an investigation of the collapse load in cylinder shell under uniformexternal hydrostatic pressure with optimum design using finite element method viaANSYS software. Twenty cases are studied inclusive stiffeners in longitudinal and ringstiffeners. Buckling mode shape is evaluated. This paper studied the optimum designgenerated by ANSYS for thick cylinder with external hydrostatic pressure. The primarygoal of this paper was to identify the improvement in the design of cylindrical shell underhydrostatic pressure with and without Stiffeners (longitudinal and ring) with incorporativetechnique of an optimization into ANSYS software. The design elements in this researchwas: critical load, design variable (thickness of shell (TH), stiffener’s width (B) andstiffener’s height (HF). The results obtained illustrated that the objective is minimizedusing technique of numerical optimization in ANSYS with optimum shell thickness andstiffener’s sizes. In all cases the design variables (thickness of shell) was thicker than themonocoque due to a shell’s thicker is essential to achieve the strength constraints. It can beconcluded that cases (17,18,19, and 20) have more than 90% of un-stiffened critical load.The ring stiffeners causes increasing buckling load than un-stiffened and longitudinalstiffened cylinder.
