Deflection Theory

The elastic stability of a thin-walled circular cylindrical shell is investigated by means of the small-deflection theory when the shell is subjected to such nonuniform heating as causes a uniform axial compressive stress to arise in a band of width 2b while the rest of the shell is free of stress. The critical value of the compressive axial stress is found to be equal to the critical stress of the same circular cylindrical shell when subjected to uniform axial compression provided the band is not extremely narrow. In the latter case the critical stress of the band is higher than that of the uniformly compressed shell.

Abstract The radial deformations of a thin-walled circular cylindrical shell subjected to a pair of equal and opposite concentrated radial loads were obtained in (1) for the cases of infinitely long cylinders and cylinders of finite length simply supported at the ends. Based on the mathematical method given in (1) this problem is reexamined in the present paper by using Flügge’s equations (2, 3). It is found that the results obtained in (1) are quite satisfactory for short-length cylinders (L/α ≤ 10) with simply supported ends but not satisfactory for infinitely long cylinders.

SummaryThe problem discussed is that of the elastic local instability of a uniformly compressed thin-walled strut composed of a number of flat component plates. The strut is essentially “ open ” in cross-sectional form, while reinforcing flanges are attached to the extreme edges. An overall stability equation, based on the small deflection theory of plate bending, is derived from the conditions which must hold at the common and extreme longitudinal edges of the strut.It is shown that the critical compression stress induces a mode of buckling which involves a whole number of sinusoidal half-waves in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the number of half-waves is common to all component plates of the strut. The general’ stability equation—a zero determinant of high order—lends itself to expansion in terms of 4th order minors, which may again be expressed in terms of seven basic functions. A knowledge of these functions is sufficient for the solution of any problem, however complex, within the scope of the general analysis.Application of the basic functions to the solution of three different problems yields results which indicate the need for considerable care in the design of thin-walled struts with reinforcing flanges. In struts of this type a longer wavelength of buckling is possible than is commonly associated with local instability problems.

Presented herein is a formulation for the buckling of a cylindrical shell subjected to external loads using an infinitesimal shell element defined in a convenient coordinate system. The governing equation in terms of the radial deflection is derived for the element by adopting an operator. The eighth order partial differential equation derived can be applied for cylindrical shells with various boundary conditions. For illustration, simply supported cylindrical shells subjected to axial compressive forces are studied using either a one-variable or a two-variable shape function. The critical stresses obtained for the buckling of cylindrical shells are compared with those by the finite element program SAP2000. The critical stress of the cylindrical shell is similar to that of the column, in that the critical stress decreases as the thickness ratio (the ratio of R/h) or the slenderness ratio increases. Good agreement has been obtained for most of the comparative cases, while the finite element results appear to be slightly higher for some cases.

Cylinder grinding has been the subject of an intensive research, because delay-type resonances, commonly known as chatter-vibrations, have been reason for serious surface quality problems in industry [1]. As a result of this activity it has been developed a simulation platform, on which the complete grinding process including delay-resonances can be driven [2]. This platform consists of models for the grinder, for the cylindrical work piece and for the stone-cylinder grinding contact. The elastic cylinder model is based on analytical eigenfunctions in bending vibrations, which basis has been used to present the rotordynamic equations of cylinder in modal coordinates. Stone-cylinder interaction mechanism has been derived by combining the rules of mass and momentum transfer in the material removal process. The contribution of this paper is to update the platform to include the thermal effects of the work body undergoing shell deformations. Following the method to use the eigenfunctions of a thin-walled circular cylindrical shell to describe the rotordynamic motion of the work body, a promising method could be to use in a similar way the eigenfunctions of a thermally isolated cylinder to solve the temperature distribution of the cylinder. The temperature distribution and terms related to the non-homogeneous boundary conditions will then be the input to the thermoelastic problem. It can be shown that the eigenfunction basis consists of trigonometric functions in axial and circumferential directions while the radial eigenfunctions are Bessel functions. The stone-cylinder interface has to be updated also to include thermal effects. A portion of the mechanical power is transferred to the work piece. The rest goes to the stone, to the material, which is removed and to the cutting coolant. On the other hand, thermal deformations modify the grinding forces, which are loading the work piece. The solution of the coupled thermal and thermoelastic problem will be done in terms of modal coordinates corresponding to the eigenfunction basis. This leads to numerical time integration of two groups of differential equations, the solution of which can be used to perform the temperature distributions and the corresponding thermal deformations.

Some significant behaviors on strongly nonlinear vibrations are examined for a thin-walled cylindrical shell composed of the classical incompressible Mooney–Rivlin material and subjected to a single radial harmonic excitation at the inner surface. First, with the aid of Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory, Lagrange’s equations and the assumption of small strains, a nonlinear system of differential equations for the large deflection vibration of a thin-walled shell is obtained. Second, based on the condensation method, the nonlinear system of differential equations is reduced to a strongly nonlinear Duffing equation with a large parameter. Finally, by the appropriate parameter transformation and modified Lindstedt–Poincar[Formula: see text] method, the response curves for the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency relations are presented. Numerical results demonstrate that the geometrically nonlinear characteristic of the shell undergoing large vibrations shows a hardening behavior, while the nonlinearity of the hyperelastic material should weak the hardening behavior to some extent.
