A consistent kinematic hardening theory termed complete hardening, based on a Tresca initial yield condition, has been applied to determine the general flow laws for rotationally symmetric shells. Representative “long” and “short” cylindrical shell problems with zero axial load are solved using complete hardening and a simpler but approximate kinematic hardening theory, termed direct hardening. The direct-hardening results compare favorably with the complete hardening ones.

In this paper an experimental study on circular cylindrical shells subjected to axial compressive and periodic loads is presented. Even though many researchers have extensively studied nonlinear vibrations of cylindrical shells, experimental studies are rather limited in number. The experimental setup is explained and deeply described along with the analysis of preliminary results. The linear and the nonlinear dynamic behavior associated with a combined effect of compressive static and a periodic axial load have been investigated for different combinations of loads; moreover, a non stationary response of the structure has been observed close to one of the resonances. The linear shell behavior is also investigated by means of a finite element model, in order to enhance the comprehension of experimental results.

This study is concerned with the “Free Asymmetric Vibrations of Composite Full Circular Cylindrical Shells Stiffened by a Bonded Central Shell Segment.” The base shell is made of an orthotropic “full” circular cylindrical shell reinforced and/or stiffened by an adhesively bonded dissimilar, orthotropic “full” circular cylindrical shell segment. The stiffening shell segment is located at the mid-center of the composite system. The theoretical analysis is based on the “Timoshenko-Mindlin-(and Reissner) Shell Theory” which is a “First Order Shear Deformation Shell Theory (FSDST).” Thus, in both “base (or lower) shell” and in the “upper shell” segment, the transverse shear deformations and the extensional, translational and the rotary moments of inertia are taken into account in the formulation. In the very thin and linearly elastic adhesive layer, the transverse normal and shear stresses are accounted for. The sets of the dynamic equations, stress-resultant-displacement equations for both shells and the in-between adhesive layer are combined and manipulated and are finally reduced into a ”Governing System of the First Order Ordinary Differential Equations” in the “state-vector” form. This system is integrated by the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method (with Chebyshev Polynomials).” Some asymmetric mode shapes and the corresponding natural frequencies showing the effect of the “hard” and the “soft” adhesive cases are presented. Also, the parametric study of the “overlap length” (or the bonded joint length) on the natural frequencies in several modes is considered and plotted.

In this study, the problem of the free asymmetric vibrations of composite “full” circular cylindrical shells with a bonded single lap joint is considered. The “full” circular cylindrical shell adherends to be made of dissimilar and orthotropic materials are connected by relatively very thin, yet flexible and linearly elastic adhesive layer. The bonded single lap joint is a centrally located in the composite shell system. The analysis is based on a “Timoshenko-Mindlin (and Reissner) Type Shell Theory” which is a “First Order Shear Deformation Shell Theory (FSDST)”. In the formulation, the set of governing differential equations is reduced to a system of first order ordinary differential equations in the “state vector” form. Then, they are integrated by means of a numerical procedure, that is, the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method (with Chebyshev Polynomials)”. The mode shapes and the natural frequencies of the “full” cylindrical shell lap joint system are investigated for various boundary conditions. Also, the effects, on the modes and natural frequencies, of the “hard” (or rather relatively stiff) and the “soft” (or relatively very flexible) adhesive layer cases are considered and presented. Some of the numerical results of the important parametric studies are computed and plotted.

The finite element method is applied to the creep buckling of circular cylindrical shells under axial compression. Not only the axisymmetric mode but also the bifurcation mode of the creep buckling are considered in the analysis. The critical time for creep buckling is defined as either the time when a slope of a displacement versus time curve becomes infinite or the time when the bifurcation buckling occurs. The creep buckling analyses are carried out for an infinitely long and axially compressed circular cylindrical shell with an axisymmetric initial imperfection and for a finitely long and axially compressed circular cylindrical shell. The numerical results are compared with available analytical ones and experimental data.

An experimental and finite element analysis of a uniform cylindrical shell with a large circular cut-out is presented. In this analysis three hole sizes are considered, namely μ = 2.037, 4.084, and 6.344 (where μ = {[12(1 - y2)]1/4/2} × [ a/( Rt)1/2]), for loadings of axial compression, torsion and three point bending. The experimental results are the only ones available for cylindrical shells with large values of μ (except for one graph by Savin (1)†), while for three point bending there is no previously published theoretical or analytical results. Good agreement is found between the calculated and experimental stresses around the holes.

Pappas and Allentuch in the title paper computerized the investigation of a minimum-weight, ring-stiffened, elastic circular cylindrical shell under external pressure and obtained results similar to those found by Gerard in closed form in 1961.

Using the strain-mapping method for the Tresca yield condition, the yield surface is derived for a cylindrical shell with a wall reinforced by longitudinal ribs on one side. Results are given for the case where the axial load is zero. As a sample problem utilizing this surface and as an appropriate method for solving nonlinear equations, the solution of a cantilever shell under constant pressure is obtained.
