The dynamic response of open-ended cylindrical glass fiber composite shells subjected to internal blast loading is studied in the current paper. The experimental observation on response characteristics of cylindrical glass fiber shells is presented, in which failure modes of composite structures are especially concerned. It is found that dynamic buckling may occur in the inner steel liner, which may consequently cause delamination and fiber fracture of the outer glass fiber shell and thus limits the blast loading resistant capability of glass fiber explosion containment vessels. The other failure mode is obvious circular plastic expansion of the inner steel liner and fiber fracture of the outer fiber shell. There exists an interesting case that hoop winding fibers fail but fibers with a winding angle do not fail, based on which the hybrid filament wound method for cylindrical composite containment vessels is proposed. The current study may contribute to further understanding on the design and application of glass fiber composite explosion containment vessels (CECVs).

Abstract The dynamic response of composite explosion containment vessels has been widely reported by experimental observations. In this study, we propose an analytical method to predict the dynamic response of open-ended cylindrical composite shells subjected to internal blast loading. The cylindrical composite shell has an out fiber composite shell with an inner steel liner, in which the outer fiber composite shell is simplified as a single elastic layer by an effective modulus in the hoop direction. Considering the impact between two layers during the dynamic response, the analytical solution for response histories of two layers could be obtained. Finite element analysis on the double-layer model is also conducted by ls-dyna. The analytical solution and the simulation result agree well, which demonstrates that the current analytical method can be employed in the design of this composite structure under blast loading.

In transverse vibrations the element moves to and fro in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the advance of the wave. To determine the vibration characteristics i.e., natural frequencies and mode shapes, modal analysis is a process for a structure or a machine component while is being designed. In real life, aero planes, missiles, rockets, space vehicles, satellites, sub marines etc are modeled as free-free mechanical systems. In this paper an attempt was made to compare natural frequency for two composite materials- ladies finger with Glass fiber composite and Hemp with Glass fiber composite by taking as cantilever beams. The cantilever beam which is fixed at one end is vibrated to obtain the natural frequency, mode shapes at four different modes. A simple low cost demonstration experiment is performed in this paper by using common apparatus in order to compare theoretical, numerical (FEM analysis) profiles of two free-free thin two rectangular composite beams of dimensions 305*49.5* 7 in mm. Keywords: Natural frequencies, Mode shapes, Vibration characteristics, Ladies finger fiber, Hemp fiber, Glass fiber, FEM analysis, Free-Free system.
