The Buckling of an Cylinder with AxiaKy Loaded Circular Initial Imperfections
نویسنده
چکیده
An extension of the Donnell and Wan analysis for the buckling of a shell with initial imperfections is presented for a mode of arbitrary profile. Results for a mode with 26 arbitrary parameters are given with charts of the stress-strain characteristics for cylinders with initial displacements of between one-eighth and five times the skin thickness of the cylinder. A direct optimisation of the energy function is used. Almroth's minimum post-buckled stress for the ideal cylinder (0. 0656 Et/R) is lowered to 0. 0518 Et/R and a critical assessment of the value of such figures provided.

Buckling of Stiffened Thin-Walled Cylindrical Shells under Axial Compression with Symmetrical Imperfections
This study aimed to investigate the effects of stiffeners on buckling of thin cylindrical shells under uniform axial compression. To this end, more than 300 finite element models of stiffened cylindrical shells were prepared. The variables considered are shell thickness, number, dimension and the location of the vertical and horizontal stiffeners as well as circular symmetrical imperfections. R...
متن کاملField Study and Evaluation of Buckling Behavior of Cylindrical Steel Tanks with Geometric Imperfections under Uniform External Pressure
Construction and assembling process of shell structures has caused main problems. In these structures, there is no possibility for the integrated construction due to their large shell extent and they are built using a number of welded curved panel parts; hence, some geometrical imperfections emerge. Most of these imperfections are caused by the process of welding, transportation, inappropriate ...
متن کاملBuckling Behavior of Composite Plates with a Pre-central Circular Delamination Defect under in-Plane Uniaxial Compression
Delamination is one of the most common failure modes in composite structures. In the case of in-plane compressional loading, delamination of a layered flat structure can cause a local buckling in delaminated area which subsequently affects the overall stiffness of the initial structure. This leads to an early failure of the overall structure. Moreover, with an increase in load, the delaminated ...
متن کاملNumerical research on the lateral global buckling characteristics of a high temperature and pressure pipeline with two initial imperfections
With the exploitation of offshore oil and gas gradually moving to deep water, higher temperature differences and pressure differences are applied to the pipeline system, making the global buckling of the pipeline more serious. For unburied deep-water pipelines, the lateral buckling is the major buckling form. The initial imperfections widely exist in the pipeline system due to manufacture defec...
متن کاملImperfection-Insensitive Axially Loaded Thin Cylindrical Shells
The high efficiency of circular monocoque cylindrical shells in carrying axial loads is impaired by their extreme sensitivity to imperfections and there is an extensive body of literature that addresses this behavior. Instead of following this classical path, focused on circular cross-sections, this paper presents a novel approach that adopts optimal symmetry-breaking wavy cross-sections (wavy ...
