Improved Smeared and Zigzag Third-order Theories for Piezoelectric Angle-ply Laminated Cylindrical Shells under Electrothermomechanical Loads

Buckling and vibration analysis of angle -ply symmetric laminated composite plates with fully elastic boundaries

The main focus of this paper is on efficiency analysis of two kinds of approximating functions (characteristic orthogonal polynomials and characteristic beam functions) that have been applied in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to determine the non-dimensional buckling and frequency parameters of an angle ply symmetric laminated composite plate with fully elastic boundaries. It has been observed that o...

Dynamic buckling of thin cylindrical shells under axial impact

The dynamic buckling of thin isotropic thermoviscoplastic cylindrical shells compressed with a uniform axial velocity prescribed at the end faces is investigated analytically and numerically. In the first part of the paper, the stressed/deformed state of a shell is assumed to have buckled if infinitesimal perturbations superimposed upon it grow. Cubic algebraic equations are derived for both th...

Study on buckling of steel cylindrical shells with an elliptical cutout under combined loading

In this paper, simulation and analysis of thin steel cylindrical shells with elliptical cutouts under oblique loading were studied using finite element method. First, the numerical results were validated by the results of experimental test performed by an INSTRON 8802 servo hydraulic machine. Also, the effect of cutout angle (θ), cutout size, cutout position (L0/L) and cutout aspect ratios (b/a...

Neural Prediction of Buckling Capacity of Stiffened Cylindrical Shells

Estimation of the nonlinear buckling capacity of thin walled shells is one of the most important aspects of structural mechanics. In this study the axial buckling load of 132 stiffened shells were numerically calculated. The applicability of artificial neural networks (ANN) in predicting the buckling capacity of vertically stiffened shells was studied. To this end feed forward (FF) multi-layer ...
