author

Abstract:

In this paper, the buckling behavior of a composite lattice cylindrical shell is studied and effects of rib defects on the distribution of stress field and buckling response of the shell is investigated. A three dimensional finite element buckling analysis of the lattice shell is carried out using ANSYS suit of program. Geometrical data and material properties of the shell are obtained from the specimens made by filament winding method. Effects of various parameters including the geometrical ratios, defects of ribs on buckling response of the shell are studied. Buckling loads of composite lattice cylindrical shells under axial and shear forces have been obtained experimentally and results are compared with finite element results.

Experimental and FEM Analysis of Ribs Defects on Composite Lattice Cylindrical Shells

In this study, the behavior of a composite lattice cylindrical shell is investigated in the buckling deforming. Also, the distribution of shell buckling response and the stress field is studied after making some defects on the ribs.Therefore using ANSYS software, a 3D finite element model of the shell has been created for the analysis. Material properties and geometrical data of the shell are o...

Buckling Load Evaluation Method for Single Layer Cylindrical Lattice Shells

A rational design evaluation procedure is investigated for the elastic overall buckling load carrying capacity of single layer cylindrical lattice shell roof structures. The nature of the imperfection sensitivity of these structures is for the first time reviewed in this paper. This allows the development of the reduced stiffness buckling analytical concept for the lattice shells based upon the...

Nonlinear Stochastic Dynamical Post-buckling Analysis of Uncertain Cylindrical Shells

This paper presents the nonlinear dynamical post-buckling analysis of an uncertain cylindrical shell. The proposed approach is adapted to the dynamical analysis of geometrically nonlinear structures subjected to a stochastic ground-based motion in the presence of both system parameter uncertainties and model uncertainties. The structure is modeled by a large finite element model using 3D elasti...

Buckling Analysis of Axially Loaded Corrugated Cylindrical Shells

Buckling analyses of heavily corrugated cylindrical shells based on detailed full finite element models are usually computationally expensive. To address this issue, we have proposed an efficient computational method of predicting the onset of buckling for corrugated cylindrical shells which builds on the Bloch wave method for infinitely periodic structures. We modified the traditional Bloch wa...

Stress Analysis of Composite Cylindrical Shells with an Elliptical Cutout

A special-purpose, semi-analytical solution method for determining the stress and deformation fields in a thin laminated-composite cylindrical shell with an elliptical cutout is presented. The analysis includes the effects of cutout size, shape, and orientation; non-uniform wall thickness; oval-cross-section eccentricity; and loading conditions. The loading conditions include uniform tension, u...
