Elastic Deformations of Spherical Core-Shell Systems Under an Equatorial Load

Scattering of Longitudinal Elastic Waves From an Anisotropic Spherical Shell

Axisymmetric Buckling of a Spherical Shell Embedded in an Elastic Medium under Uniaxial Stress at Infinity

The problem of a thin spherical linearly-elastic shell, perfectly bonded to an infinite linearly-elastic medium is considered. A constant axisymmetric stress field is applied at infinity in the matrix, and the displacement and stress fields in the shell and matrix are evaluated by means of harmonic potential functions. In order to examine the stability of this solution, the buckling problem of ...

Buckling Analysis of Cylindrical Grooved Shell under Axial Load Discs

In this paper, buckling of cylindrical grooved shells under axial load has been examined by theoretical and experimental methods. The shell is made of USA/API – X42 5L steel standards. This material is one of the most common materials used in gas, oil and petrochemical industries. The effect of spiral grooves on cylindrical shell was analyzed, and the results obtained from the Abaqus software w...

Cell membrane wrapping of a spherical thin elastic shell.

Nanocapsules that can be tailored intelligently and specifically have drawn considerable attention in the fields of drug delivery and bioimaging. Here we conduct a theoretical study on cell uptake of a spherical nanocapsule which is modeled as a linear elastic solid thin shell in three dimensions. It is found that there exist five wrapping phases based on the stability of three wrapping states:...
