The Stability

The buckling problem of circular cylindrical shells under axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is investigated using a displacement function φ. A governing differential equation for the stability of thin cylindrical shells under combined loading of axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is derived. A method for the solutions of this equation is also presented. The advantage in using the present equation over the customary three differential equations for displacements is that only one trial solution is needed in solving the buckling problems as shown in the paper. Four possible combinations of boundary conditions for a simply supported edge are treated. The case of a cylinder under axial compression is carried out in detail. For two types of simple supported boundary conditions, SS1 and SS2, the minimum critical axial buckling stress is found to be 43.5 percent of the well-known classical value Eh/R3(1−ν2) against the 50 percent of the classical value presently known.

The buried pipelines or vessels and other similar structures made of homogeneous or advanced composite materials are commonly used in civil engineering and biotechnology. The radial stability problem of these structures was widely studied using the cylindrical shell model over the past years. In this paper, the linear stability of cylindrical shells resting on Winkler elastic foundation under uniformly distributed external pressure was analyzed with semi-analytical quadrature element method (QEM). As for the longitudinal direction, the radial deflection of shell was approximated by the quadrature element formulation. While the analytic trigonometric function was adopted for description of radial deflection in circumferential direction. The Numerical results of critical buckling load were compared with the semi-analytical FEM. It is found that the semi-analytical QEM possesses higher computational efficiency and applicability than semi-analytical FEM. Then, the effects of the shell length, radius, and thickness on the critical buckling pressures are systematically investigated through the parametric studies.
