Buckling Analysis of Functionally Graded Shallow Spherical Shells Under External Hydrostatic Pressure
The aim of this paper is to determine the critical buckling load for simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to uniform external pressure. A metal-ceramic functionally graded (FG) shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure me...
متن کاملThermomechanical Buckling of Simply Supported Shallow FGM Spherical Shells with Temperature dependent Material
The thermomechanical buckling of simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material is presented in this paper. A metal-ceramic functionally graded shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure metal on the inner surface to pure ceramic on the outer surfa...
متن کاملNonlinear buckling behaviour of spherical shells: barriers and symmetry-breaking dimples.
The nonlinear axisymmetric post-buckling behaviour of perfect, thin, elastic spherical shells subject to external pressure and their asymmetric bifurcations are characterized, providing results for a structure/loading combination with an exceptionally nonlinear buckling response. Immediately after the onset of buckling, the buckling mode localizes into a dimple at the poles. The relations among...
متن کاملImperfections and Energy Barriers in Shell Buckling
The elastic buckling of shell structures such as spherical shells subject to external pressure and cylindrical shells loaded in axial compression is highly sensitive to imperfections and often catastrophic. Recent studies of spherical shells have provided accurate quantitative results for the relation between the buckling pressure and the amplitude and shape of geometric imperfections and, addi...
متن کاملTechnical brief: Knockdown factor for the buckling of spherical shells containing large-amplitude geometric defects
We explore the effect of precisely defined geometric imperfections on the buckling load of spherical shells under external pressure loading, using finite element analysis that was previously validated through precision experiments. Our numerical simulations focus on the limit of large amplitude defects and reveal a lower bound that depends solely on the shell radius to thickness ratio and the a...
