Breeder Reactors

This paper presents a simplified method to analyze the buckling of thin structures like those of Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors (LMFBR). The method is very similar to those used for the buckling of beams and columns with initial geometric imperfections, buckling in the plastic region. Special attention is paid to the strain hardening of material involved and to possible unstable post-buckling behavior. The analytical method uses elastic calculations and diagrams that account for various initial geometric defects. An application of the method is given. A comparison is made with an experimental investigation concerning a representative LMFBR component.

Plate System

The ultimate compressive strengths of high performance steel (HPS) plate system stiffened longitudinally by closed stiffeners have been investigated by the nonlinear finite element analysis. Both conventional and high performance steels were considered in models following multi-linear strain hardening constitutive relationships. Initial geometric imperfections and residual stresses were also incorporated in the analysis. Numerical results have been compared to compressive strengths from Eurocode 3 EN 1993-1-5 and FHWA-TS-80-205. It has been found that although use of Eurocode 3 EN 1993-1-5 and FHWA-TS-80-205 may lead to highly conservative design strengths when very large column slenderness parameters are encountered

Double Channel

Although the section “I”, in double channel, is widely used, there are few studies on its behavior. Therefore, this work aims to contribute to a greater mastery over the structural behavior of this built-up sections. A nonlinear numerical analysis was performed using the Finite Element Method in the Ansys program, using existing experimental studies as a comparative database. The effect of length, number of connections, plate thickness and the presence of geometric and material imperfections on the normal strength of the columns. For this analysis, it was essential to consider the initial geometric imperfections, because there was a considerable reduction in the normal strength of the columns, thus getting closer to the values obtained experimentally. With regard to normative procedures, values against security were found in most cases, showing the need to conduct further studies in the area for the development of more appropriate formulations.

The One

Perfect clamped torispherical shells subjected to external pressure are analysed in the paper using the BOSOR 5 shell buckling program. Various values of the knuckle radius-to-diameter ratio ( r/D) and the spherical cap radius-to-thickness ratio ( Rs/ t) were studied, as well as four values of σyp, the yield point of the material. Buckling/collapse pressures, modes of failure and the development of plastic zones in the shell wall were determined. A simple diagram is presented which enables the failure mode in these shells to be predicted. The collapse pressures, pc, were also plotted against the parameter Λs (√( pyp/ pcr)). When the controlling failure mode was axisymmetric yielding in the knuckle, the collapse pressure curves depended on the value of σyp, which is unusual. However, when the controlling failure mode was bifurcation buckling (at the crown/knuckle junction), the collapse pressure curves for the various values of σyp all merged, i.e., they were independent of σyp. This latter situation is the one which normally occurs with the buckling of cylindrical and hemispherical shells. A limited investigation was also made into the effects of axisymmetric initial geometric imperfections on the strength of externally-pressurised torispherical shells. When the failure mode was axisymmetric yielding in the knuckle, initial imperfections of moderate size did not affect the collapse pressures. In the cases where bifurcation buckling at the crown/knuckle junction occurred, small initial geometric imperfections at the apex did not affect the buckling pressure, but axisymmetric imperfections at the buckle location did influence it. With the other failure mode (i.e., axisymmetric yielding collapse at the crown of the shell), initial geometric imperfections caused a reduction in the torisphere's strength.

The aim of the present study is to investigate thermo-mechanical buckling response of skew functionally graded laminated plates (FGLP) with initial geometric imperfections. The formulation has been performed using Reddy’s higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) with the [Formula: see text] continuous displacement field. A nine-noded isoparametric element has been employed to discretize the domain of the plate. Variational principle has been used to derive the governing differential equation of the problem. Several examples with various comparison and parametric studies have been shown to prove the efficiency and effectiveness of the present formulation. The numerical results have been highlighted with different system parameters and boundary conditions.
