Strain growth is a phenomenon observed in the elastic response of containment vessels subjected to internal blast loading. The local dynamic response of a containment vessel may become larger in a later stage than its response in the earlier stage. In order to understand the possible mechanisms of the strain growth phenomenon in a cylindrical vessel, dynamic elastic responses of a finite-length cylindrical shell with different boundary conditions subjected to internal pressure pulse are studied by finite-element simulation using LS-DYNA. It is found that the strain growth in a finite-length cylindrical shell with sliding–sliding boundary conditions is caused by nonlinear modal coupling. Strain growth in a finite-length cylindrical shell with free–free or simply supported boundary conditions is primarily caused by the linear modal superposition, possibly enhanced by the nonlinear modal coupling. The understanding of these strain growth mechanisms can guide the design of cylindrical containment vessels.

The vibrational power flow in a submerged infinite cylindrical shell with internal rings and bulkheads are studied analytically. The harmonic motion of the shell and the pressure field in the fluid is described by Flügge shell theory and Helmholtz equation, respectively. The coupling condition on the outer surface of the shell wall is introduced to obtain the vibrational equation of this coupled system. Both four kinds of forces (moments) between rings and shell and between bulkheads and shell are considered. The solution is obtained in series form by expanding the system responses in terms of the space harmonics of the spacing of both ring stiffeners and bulkheads. The vibrational power flow and radiated sound power are obtained and the influences of various complicating effects such as the ring, bulkhead and fluid loading on the results are analyzed. The analytic model is close to engineering practice, which will be valuable to the application on noise and vibration control of submarines and underwater pipes.

Abstract Design equation (4.3.1) for the minimum required thickness of a cylindrical shell subjected to internal pressure in Part 4 “design by rule (DBR)” of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 2 [1] is based on the Tresca Yield Criterion, while design by analysis (DBA) in Part 5 of the Division 2 Code is based on the von Mises Yield Criterion. According to ASME PTB-1 “ASME Section VIII – Division 2 Criteria and Commentary”, the difference in results is about 15% due to use of the two different criteria. Although the von Mises Yield Criterion will result in a shell wall thickness less than that from Tresca Yield Criterion, Part 4 (DBR) of ASME Division 2 adopts the latter for a more convenient design equation. To use the von Mises Criterion in lieu of Tresca to reduce shell wall thickness, one has to follow DBA rules in Part 5 of Division 2, which typically requires detailed numeric analysis performed by experienced stress analysts. This paper proposes a simple design equation for the minimum required thickness of a cylindrical shell subjected to internal pressure based on the von Mises Yield Criterion. The equation is suitable for both thin and thick cylindrical shells. Calculation results from the equation are validated by results from limit load analyses in accordance with Part 5 of ASME Division 2 Code.
