Explosion containment vessels (ECVs) are used to fully contain the effects of explosion events. A discrete multi-layered cylindrical shell (DMC) consisting of a thin inner cylindrical shell and helically cross-winding flat steel ribbons has been proposed, which has obvious advantages of fabrication convenience and low costs. The applications of ECVs are closely associated with blast and thermal loads, and thus, it is important to understand the response of a DMC under transient thermal load in order to develop a design code and operation procedures for the use of DMC as ECV. In this paper, a mathematical model for the elastic response of a DMC subjected to thermal loading due to rapid heating is proposed. Based on the axisymmetric plane strain assumption, the displacement solution of the dynamic equilibrium equations of both inner shell and outer ribbon layer are decomposed into two parts, i.e. a thermo-elastic part satisfying inhomogeneous stress boundary conditions and a dynamic part for homogeneous stress boundary conditions. The thermo-elastic part is solved by a linear method and the dynamic part is determined by means of finite Hankel transform and Laplace transform. The thermo-elastic solution of a DMC is compared with the solution of a monobloc cylindrical shell, and numerical results are presented and discussed in terms of winding angle and material parameters.

The critical velocity for an infinite cylindrical shell subjected a moving load with a constant velocity is analyzed in this paper. It is found that the critical velocity problem can be translated into a distribution of the real roots of a quadruplicate equation, which can be solved by using Descartes sign method and complete discrimination system for polynomials. Our research shows that the number of the critical velocities for an infinite cylindrical shell always is even number. Furthermore the longitudinal wave velocity is not one critical velocity for the shell. Our results are different from the conclusion drawn by other authors that there are three critical velocities in an infinite shell, and the longitudinal wave velocity is the maximum critical velocity. Then further studies are needed to clarify these questions.
