Bending Due to Ring Loading of a Cylindrical Shell With an Elastic Core
Keyword(s):
The Core
◽
The problem of a long, thin cylindrical shell with a soft core and subjected to a radial ring load is solved with the use of the Boussinesq-Neuber stress function for the core in conjunction with classical shell theory. Numerical results for stress and displacement fields are given for various values of the cylinder geometry parameters and material constants.
