This paper investigates the nonlinear breathing vibrations and chaos of a circular truss antenna under changing thermal environment with 1:2 internal resonance for the first time. A continuum circular cylindrical shell clamped by one beam along its axial direction on one side is proposed to replace the circular truss antenna composed of the repetitive beam-like lattice by the principle of equivalent effect. The effective stiffness coefficients of the equivalent circular cylindrical shell are obtained. Based on the first-order shear deformation shell theory and the Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear governing equations of motion are derived for the equivalent circular cylindrical shell. The Galerkin approach is utilized to discretize the nonlinear partial governing differential equation of motion to the ordinary differential equation for the equivalent circular cylindrical shell. The case of the 1:2 internal resonance, primary parametric resonance and 1/2 subharmonic resonance is taken into account. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain the four-dimensional averaged equation. The frequency-response curves and force-response curves are obtained when considering the strongly coupled of two modes. The numerical results indicate that there are the hardening type and softening type nonlinearities for the circular truss antenna. Numerical simulation is used to investigate the influences of the thermal excitation on the nonlinear breathing vibrations of the circular truss antenna. It is demonstrated from the numerical results that there exist the bifurcation and chaotic motions of the circular truss antenna.

A theoretical study has been made into the elastic behavior of a joint formed by the normal intersection of a right circular cylindrical shell with another of larger diameter. The wall of the larger cylinder is assumed to remain open inside the joint in order to give an arrangement which is encountered frequently in pressure vessels or pipeline intersections. An external bending moment which acts in the plane of the joint is applied to the nozzle cylinder and is equilibriated by moments of half this magnitude applied to either end of the parent cylinder. A solution for this loading has been obtained by assuming antisymmetric distributions of certain stresses across a plane transverse to the joint. The analysis presented is believed to be valid for nozzle to cylinder diameter ratios of less than 1:3. Numerical results are given for a number of cases having radius ratios of 1:10 and 1:4.

Investigation of the elastic state of curve beam system had been considered in [3]. In this paper the elastic-plastic state of curve beam system in the form of cylindrical shell is analyzed by the elastic solution method. Numerical results of the problem and conclusion are given.
