Thin Shell Theory

By the analysis of the single and double boundary effect of the large opening structure with flush nozzle in pressure vessel with ellipsoidal head in terms of Thin Shell Theory, stress distribution of the two cases are obtained in this paper. Then numerical and experimental verifications are carried out by finite element method (FEM) and experiments. Comparing theoretic and numerical results with experimental data respectively; it is found that FEM or theoretic results accord with the experimental data well, while there is some non-consistence between the FEM or theoretic results and the experimental data within joint range. According to the consistence between the analysis results of FEM and those of thin shell theory in weld roots, a newly weld reinforce effect calculation approach of the welt joint is proposed by considering the size of the weld joint and using the results of thin shell theory in the roots of the weld. Example presented indicates that, as a quick and convenient evaluation means, using the results of thin shell theory in weld root to evaluate joint strength is available and reliable.

Thin Shell Theory

A method is presented to predict the root mean square displacement response of an open curved thin shell structure subjected to a turbulent boundary-layer-induced random pressure field. The basic formulation of the dynamic problem is an efficient approach combining classic thin shell theory and the finite element method. The displacement functions are derived from Sanders’ thin shell theory. A numerical approach is proposed to obtain the total root mean square displacements of the structure in terms of the cross-spectral density of random pressure fields. The cross-spectral density of pressure fluctuations in the turbulent pressure field is described using the Corcos formulation. Exact integrations over surface and frequency lead to an expression for the total root mean square displacement response in terms of the characteristics of the structure and flow. An in-house program based on the presented method was developed. The total root mean square displacements of a curved thin blade subjected to turbulent boundary layers were calculated and illustrated as a function of free stream velocity and damping ratio. A numerical implementation for the vibration of a cylinder excited by fully developed turbulent boundary layer flow was presented. The results compared favorably with those obtained using software developed by Lakis et al.

Thin Shell Theory

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the solution of a class of problems involving a small parameter ε and ε2. This generalizes the “singular stiff” problems arising in classical thin shell theory. The new problems appear in theory of composite shells, when the local structure implies coupling between membrane stresses and flexions. According to specific hypotheses, this kind of problems contains singular perturbations and penalty problems where the limit solution belongs to a subspace G1 of the general configuration space V. In addition to the coercive problem, spectral properties are considered in the small and medium frequency ranges, including spectral families in the case without compactness.

Based on the Sanders thin shell theory, this paper presents an exact solution for the vibration of circular cylindrical shell made of two different materials. The shell is sub-divided into two segments and the state-space technique is employed to derive the homogenous differential equations. Then continuity conditions are applied where the material of the cylindrical shell changes. Shells with various combinations of end boundary conditions are analyzed by the proposed method. Finally, solving different examples, the effect of geometric parameters as well as BCs on the vibration of the bi-material shell is studied.

Introductory Review

This review article documents recent developments in the free vibration analysis of thin, moderately thick, and thick shallow shells. An introductory review of the studies in Kirchhoff-Love classical thin shell theory is given. The development of studies in moderately thick shells incorporating the effects of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia is detailed. This review article mainly focuses on research advances in vibration studies since the 1970s using the classical Kirchhoff-Love, first-order, and higher-order theories. The validity and range of applicability of these theories are examined. There are 163 references listed at the end of the article.

Rotational Freedom

The hydraulic locking sleeve is a key component of precision instruments such as five-axis machine tools, giant astronomical telescope, and satellite antenna. This is subjected to the action of pressure load causing large elastic deformation and locking the rotational freedom of feed shaft at any angle. The maximum locking torque is an important parameter for designing the hydraulic locking sleeve. First, the hydraulic locking sleeve is simplified as elastic thin cylindrical shell structure. Neglecting the bending and twisting effects, the calculation equations describing the deformation and stress state between the hydraulic locking sleeve and rotary shaft are derived by applying the theory of elastic thin shell. Then, taking into account that one end of the hydraulic lock sleeve is fixed to the shaft sleeve seat by the end face flange; the calculating formula of the maximum locking torque of the hydraulic locking sleeve is obtained by modifying the deformation equation based on moment model. Finally, a test platform of hydraulic locking sleeve is designed, which can measure the maximum locking torque of the hydraulic locking sleeve. The error between the calculation result of locking torque theoretical calculation model and the experimental measured value is <15%. As a result, the causes of the error are analyzed, and the effects of the shaft sleeve length, wall thickness, and radius on the maximum locking torque are calculated.

The complex superplastic forming (SPF) technology applying gas pressure and compressive axial load is an advanced forming method for bellows made of titanium alloy, which forming process consists of the three main forming phases namely bulging, clamping and calibrating phase. The influence of forming gas pressure in various phases on the forming process are analyzed and models of forming gas pressure for bellows made of titanium alloy are derived according to the thin shell theory and plasticity deformation theory. Using model values, taking a two-convolution DN250 bellows made of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy as an example, a series of superplastic forming tests are performed to evaluate the influence of the variation of forming gas pressure on the forming process. According to the experimental results models are corrected to make the forming gas pressures prediction more accurate.

Acceleration adds negative effect to Hemispherical Resonator Gyro (HRG) output; therefore, it is important to model the influence and then make necessary compensations, accordingly. Based on the elastic thin-shell theory under the Kirchhoff-Love assumption, the acceleration influence on HRG forcing system is modeled and then schemes for incentive are suggested. Firstly, the dynamic model of resonator is introduced. Then, inertial load and electrostatic force are calculated to obtain the deformation of resonator. At last, schemes for pickoff incentive are proposed to weaken the effect of acceleration on HRG forcer. The simulation results illustrate that acceleration has negative effects on the exciting confidents of forcers and the proposed scheme can eliminate the acceleration influence on forcing system.

A formulation of a contact problem for a spherical shell is presented in the paper. It uses a certain analytical-numerical solution for the analysis of an elastic complete sphere subjected to a concentrated force and associated body forces. Assumptions and equations of thin shell theory of small deformations and displacements are applied to the problem. Good numerical efficiency is achieved due to a solving functionZintroduced in a complex form while the concentrated force was distributed over a small finite area. Some examples are presented to illustrate the solution and an influence of the size of assumed area of load distribution. An application of the solution to the formulation of the contact problem of the spherical shell resting on several separate supports is presented.
