Vibration And Buckling Of Circular Cylindrical Panels By Higher Order Shear Deformation Theory

Vibration And Buckling Of Circular Cylindrical Panels By Higher Order Shear Deformation Theory

Mr. Shrikant M. Harle, Dr. A. V. Asha

ABSTRACT:

The present study deals with the stability and vibration analysis of cross-ply cylindrical panels by a higher-order but simple shear deformation theory as suggested by Reddy and Liu. The theory is based on a displacement field in which the displacements of the middle surface are expanded as cubic functions of the thickness coordinate and the transverse displacement is assumed to be constant through the thickness. This displacement field leads to the parabolic distribution of the transverse shear stresses (and zero transverse normal strain) and therefore no shear correction factors are used. The analysis is also based on the assumption that the thickness to radius ratio of shell panel is small compared to unity and hence negligible. The eigenvalues, and hence, the frequency parameters and buckling parameter are calculated by using a standard computer program. To check the derivation and computer program, the frequencies for homogenous, isotropic circular cylindrical panels are calculated which compare very well with earlier available results.

  1. INTRODUCTION:

    An increasing number of structural designs, especially in the aerospace, automobiles and petrochemicals industries, are extensively utilizing fiber composite laminated plates and shell panels as structural elements. Structural components, including shell panels, are increasingly being fabricated as laminates, each lamina (or layer) consisting of parallel fibers (e.g. glass, boron, graphite) embedded in a matrix material (e.g. epoxy resin). The laminated orthotropic shell panel belongs to the composite shell panels category. It may be of an arbitrary number of bonded layers, each of which possesses different elastic properties, thickness, etc. The study of the static and dynamic behavior of such shell panels is very important in structures like pressure vessels, aircrafts, storage tanks and manned and unmanned spacecrafts and submersibles.

    A higher order shear deformation theory of elastic shell was developed for shell laminated of orthotropic layers by Reddy and Liu [23]. The theory was a modification of the Sanders theory and accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains through the thickness of the shell and tangential stress-free boundary conditions on the boundary surfaces of the shell. The Navier-type exact solutions for bending and natural vibration were presented for cylindrical and spherical shell under simply supported boundary conditions.

    A higher order shear deformation theory was used by Reddy and Phan [22] to determine the natural frequencies and buckling loads of elastic plates. The theory accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains through the thickness of the plate and rotary inertia. Exact solutions for simply supported plates were obtained and the results were compared with the exact solutions of three dimensional elastic theories, the first order shear deformation theory and the classical plate theory.

    A mixed shear flexible finite element, with relaxed continuity, was developed for the geometrically linear and non-linear analysis of layered anisotropic plates by Putcha and Reddy [17]. The element formulation was based on the refined higher order theory which satisfied the zero transverse shear stress boundary conditions on the top and bottom faces of the plate and requires no shear correction coefficients. The mixed finite element developed consists of eleven degrees of freedom per node which include three displacements, two rotations and six moment resultants. The element was evaluated for its accuracy in the analysis of the stability and vibration of anisotropic rectangular plates with different lamination schemes and boundary conditions.

    The present study is carried out to determine the natural frequency of vibration and stability analysis of laminated cross-ply cylindrical panels that are simply supported. The formulation has been done using higher order shear deformation theory as proposed by Reddy and Liu. The transverse displacement is assumed to be constant through the thickness. The thickness coordinate multiplied by the curvature is assumed to be small in comparison to unity and hence negligible.

    The governing equations have been developed. These equations are then reduced to the equations of motion for cylindrical panel and the Navier solution has been obtained for cross-ply laminated composite cylindrical panels. The resulting equations are suitably nondimensionalised. The eigen value problem is to be solved to obtain the free vibration frequencies.

  2. THEORY AND FORMULATION:

    The shell panel under consideration is composed of a finite number of orthotropic layers of uniform thickness. Let n denote the number of layers in the shell panel and hk and hk+1 be the top and bottom -coordinates of the kth lamina. The following displacement field is assumed:

    , , , = 1 + 1 + 1 + 21 + 31 ,

    , , , = 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 2 + 3 2 , , , , = (1) Where t is the time, ( , , ) are the displacements along the (, , ) coordinates, (u, v, w) are the displacements of a point on the middle surface and 1 and 2 are the rotations at =0 of normal to the mid-surface with respect to and axes, respectively. The displacement fields in equations are so chosen that the transverse shear strains will be quadratic functions of the thickness coordinate, , and the transverse normal strain will be zero.

    The functions and are determined using the condition that the transverse shear stresses, 4 and 5 vanish on the top and bottom surfaces of the shell panel:

    4 , , ± , = 0, 5 , , ± , = 0 (2)

    For shell panels laminated of orthotropic layers, the conditions are equivalent to the requirement that the corresponding strains be zero on these surfaces. The transverse shear strains of a shell panel with two principal radii of curvature are given by

    The boundary conditions for a simply supported cylindrical shell panel are given by N1= 0, v = 0, w = 0, M1= 0, 2= 0 At = 0 and = L/R

    Following the Navier solution procedure, the following form which satisfies the boundary condition in equations (2.9.1) is assumed for the stability analysis

    = cos sin , = sin cos , = sin cos

    1 = 1 cos sin , 2 = 2 sin cos (17)

    Following the Navier solution procedure, the following form which satisfies the boundary condition in above equations is assumed for the free vibration analysis

    = cos sin , = sin cos , 2 = 2 sin cos

    = sin cos , 1 = 1 cos sin (18)

    For convenience, the elements of the above matrices are suitably non-dimensionalised as follows:

    In the case of vibration analysis, 2 is the eigenvalue for free vibration and n

    for the buckling load and {X} is the eigenvector. For convenience the above equation is non- dimensionalised. Then if the equation is premultiplied by [ ]1, one obtains the following standard eigenvalue problem,

    In table 1, a two-layer cross-ply cylindrical shell panel has been analysed. The frequency parameter is 2 = 20 Ls 2/A11 where Ls = 2R. The results given by Dong and Tsos theory and present theory are in very close agreement for all cases.

  4. CONCLUSIONS

As the number of layers increases, the non-dimensional frequency increases. As increases, the value of the non-dimensional frequency parameter decreases in all cases. As the degree of orthotropy increases, the value of the frequency parameter decreases. As the thickness decreases, the frequency parameter decreases owing to a decrease in the stiffness matrix. As the L/h ratio increases, the frequency parameter decreases. As E1/E2 ratio increases the frequency parameter decreases. As the thickness decreases buckling parameter increases. As the number of layers increases the buckling parameter increases. As the R/h ratio decreases buckling parameter increases. As E1/E2 ratio increases the buckling parameter

increases. As the l/h ratio increases the buckling parameter increases. The above conclusions establish that the present theory, though a simple one including the shear deformation effects, gives comparable results.
