A shell problem ‘ highly sensitive ’ to thickness changes ‡

چکیده
In general, shell structural problems can be identi ed to fall into one of the categories of membranedominated, bending-dominated and mixed shell problems. The asymptotic behaviour with a well-de ned load-scaling factor shows distinctly into which category a given shell problem falls. The objective of this paper is to present a shell problem and its solution for which there is no convergence to a well-de ned load-scaling factor as the thickness of the shell decreases. Such shells are unduly sensitive in their behaviour because the ratio of membrane to bending energy stored changes signi cantly and indeed can uctuate with changes in shell thickness. We brie y review the di erent asymptotic behaviours that shell problems can display, and then present the speci c problem considered and its numerical solution using nite element analysis.

Evaluation of Buckling and Post Buckling of Variable Thickness Shell Subjected to External Hydrostatic Pressure
Buckling and post buckling of cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure is regarded as important issue in structure of submarines. These cylindrical shells have variable thickness due to construction process which effected by pressure of buckling and its destruction. In this paper, effects of changing thickness on buckling and destruction pressure under external hydrostatic pressure of a sh...

متن کاملInvestigating the role of high-rise building shell elements in reducing energy consumption (case example: Isfahan Cascade doctors' residential towers)
Significant energy is used to provide and maintain environmental conditions for thermal comfort in high-rise residential buildings, which largely depends on the components of the shell design. Therefore, to achieve high amounts of energy savings in buildings, high-impact design measures must first be defined and then optimized. This study seeks to answer the question of how the components of th...
