The stress-strain state of a layered composite cylindrical shell under local heating by the environment due to convective heat exchange has been studied. equation six-modal theory thermoelasticity and two-dimensional thermal conductivity inhomogeneous anisotropic shells are used for this purpose. solution nonstationary transfer problem quasi-static finite hinged orthogonally reinforced symmetri...

In this study, the behavior of filament wound nanocomposite tubes under transverse impact loading is investigated. Experimental specimens were manufactured using Epon 828 resin with 0.5, 1.5 and 3 weight percentages of nano silica. Because of the varying nanosilica weight percentages in the specimens, different behaviors were observed; increasing the weight percentage of nanoparticles increased...

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...

The vibro-acoustic characteristics of cylindrical shell are widely studied because of its strong engineering application background, especially when the shell is immersed in infinite fluid field or partially immersed. In the present paper, the method for analyzing sound radiation of semi-submerged finite cylindrical shell with antisymmetric velocity distribution is first proposed. The orthogona...

There is a strong requirement for more robust, lighter and cheaper launch vehicle structures. Unstiffened composite cylindrical shells, which are essential to the fabrication of launch vehicle airframes, are prone to buckling and are highly sensitive to imperfections which arise during the manufacturing process. The buckling load is an important characteristic in design, and may vary drasticall...

In this work multiple scattering by an array of perforated cylindrical shells with a porous core has been investigated. A semi-analytical model to predict scattering from such cylindrical units is presented in the context of the multiple scattering theory (MST), and validated against laboratory experiments. The suggested semi-analytical multiple scattering model uses an impedance expression to ...
