Abstract:

Ratcheting behavior of steel 304L cylindrical shell under cyclic combined and axial loading are investigated in this paper, numerically. Cylindrical shells were fixed oblique at angle of 20° and normal with respect to the longitudinal direction of the shell and subjected to force-controlled cycling with non-zero mean force, which causes the accumulation of plastic deformation or ratcheting behavior. Numerical analysis was carried out by ABAQUS software using nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening model. Numerical results compared to experimental data that was performed by an INSTRON 8802 servo hydraulic machine. Simulations show good agreement between numerical and experimental results. Also, the effect of length, angle of cylindrical shell and existence of cutout are studied with finite element method. Seen, the bending moment plays a strong role in increase of plastic deformation. It is observed that there is more plastic deformation for cylindrical shell under combined loading in comparison to cylindrical shell under uniaxial loading. Ratcheting behavior is sensitive to cutout and showed that creating the cutout increases the plastic deformation.

Numerical and Experimental Study on Ratcheting Behavior of Plates with Circular Cutouts under Cyclic Axial Loading

In this paper, accumulation of plastic deformation of AISI 1045 steel plates with circular cutouts under cyclic axial loading is studied. Loading was applied under force-control conditions. Experimental tests were performed using a Zwick/Roell servo hydraulic machine. Under force-control loading with nonzero mean force, plastic strain was accumulated in continuous cycles called ratcheting. Nume...

Stability Analysis of Laminated Cylindrical Shells under Combined Axial Compression and Non-Uniform External Pressure

This study investigates geometrical non-linear analysis of composite circular cylindrical shells under external pressure over part of their surfaces and also shells subjected to combined axial compression and triangular external pressure. Donnell non-linear shell theory along with first order shear deformation theory (FOSD) are adopted in the analysis. In the case of combined axial compression ...
