In this paper, 2D boundary element stress analysis is carried out to obtain the T-stress for multiple internal edge cracks in thick-walled cylinders for a wide range of cylinder radius ratios and relative crack depth. The T-stress, together with the stress intensity factor K, provides amore reliable two-parameter prediction of fracture in linear elastic fracture mecha...

Cylindrical shells made of composite material form one the major structural parts in aerospace structures. Many them are acoustically thick, which ring frequencies much higher than their critical frequencies. In this work, sound radiation behaviour thick cylinders is presented. Based on and acoustic wave number diagrams, modal average resistances frequency band interest theoretically determined...

AbstraetA new method is developed, analogous to a hodograph method, for the nonlinear finite strain and stress analysis of thick-waged cylinders and spheres under internal and external pressure. The problem is reduced to solving a single ordinary differential equation of the first order. It is applicable to plastic or elastic materials. The case of porous cylinder with fluid seepage is also dis...

In this paper, one of the simplest and most regular members of the family of the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) methods; namely MLPG5, is applied to analyze the thick-walled isotropic laminated cylinders under elasto-static pressure. A novel simple technique is proposed to eliminate a very important difficulty of the meshless methods to deal with material discontinuities regarding to the...

in this research, static stresses analysis of boron nitride nano - tube reinforced composite (bnntrc) cylinder made of poly - vinylidene fluoride (pvdf) subjected to non - axisymmetric thermo - mechanical loads and applied voltage is developed. the surrounded elastic medium is modelled by pasternak foundation. composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (pfr...
