TL;DR: In this paper, the buckling and postbuckling behavior of clamped circular cylindrical shells under lateral or hydrostatic pressure is studied applying singular perturbation method by taking deflection as perturbations parameter.
Abstract: Based on the boundary layer theory for the buckling of thin elastic shells suggested in ref. [14]. the buckling and postbuckling behavior of clamped circular cylindrical shells under lateral or hydrostatic pressure is studied applying singular perturbation method by taking deflection as perturbation parameter. The effects of initial geometric imperfection are also considered. Some numerical results for perfect and imperfect cylindrical shells are given. The analytical results obtained are compared with some experimental data in detail, which shows that both are rather coincident.

TL;DR: In this paper, the displacement solution method for the general bending problem of conical shells on the elastic foundation (Winkler Medium) is presented, where the governing differential equations in displacement form of the conical shell and by introducing a displacement function U(s, θ), the differential equations are changed into an eight-order soluble partial differential equation about the displacement function in which the coefficients are variable.
Abstract: The general bending problem of conical shells on the elastic foundation (Winkler Medium) is not solved. In this paper, the displacement solution method for this problem is presented. From the governing differential equations in displacement form of conical shell and by introducing a displacement function U(s, θ), the differential equations are changed into an eight-order soluble partial differential equation about the displacement function U(s, θ) in which the coefficients are variable. At the same time, the expressions of the displacement and internal force components of the shell are also given by the diplacement function U(s θ). As special cases of this paper, the displacement function introduced by V.S.Vlasov in circular cylindrical shell[5], the basic equation of the cylindrical shell on the elastic foundation and that of the circular plates on the elastic foundation are directly derived.

Abstract: In this paper, based on paper [1], the analytic expression of the torsion function for a cylinder containing arbitrary oriented cracks is obtained. The problem is reduced to solve a system of singular integral equations for the unknown dislocation density functions. Using the numerical method of the singular integral equations[2,7] the torsional rigidities and stress intensity factors are evaluated for several multicracked cylinders. Next, the creak-cutting method[5] is firstly extended to lve the torsion problem for a rectangular prism. The numerical results show that the method presented here is successful.

TL;DR: In this paper, the expression of free energy is expanded in a power series, in which there aren't any terms of order higher than third in the temperature increments θ* and second in the strains γij in this paper.
Abstract: The expression of free energy is expanded in a power series, in which there aren't any terms of order higher than third in the temperature increments θ* and second in the strains γij in this paper. The regular patterns of the material coefficients changing with temperature increments can be derived from this expression, These regulations accord with the experimental graph in references but the constants in the expression of free energy must be determined by experimental data. It is pointed out that the variable modulus of elasticity E and shearing modulus of elasticity G are independent of each other, but the rest of the coefficients are related to them.

TL;DR: In this paper, the minimum potential energy principle and stationary complementary energy principle for nonlinear elasticity with finite displacement, together with various complete and incomplete generalized principles were studied, however, the statements and proofs of these principles were not so clearly stated about their constraint conditions and their Euler equations.
Abstract: In a previous paper (1979)[1], the minimum potential energy principle and stationary complementary energy principle for nonlinear elasticity with finite displacement, together with various complete and incomplete generalized principles were studied. However, the statements and proofs of these principles were not so clearly stated about their constraint conditions and their Euler equations. In somecases, the Euler equations have been mistaken as constraint conditions. For example, the stress displacement relation should be considered as Euler equation in complementary energy principle but have been mistaken as constraint conditions in variation. That is to say, in the above mentioned paper, the number of constraint conditions exceeds the necessary requirement. Furthermore, in all these variational principles, the stress-strain relation never participate in the variation process as constraints, i.e., they may act as a constraint in the sense that, after the set of Euler equations is solved, the stress-strain relation may be used to derive the stresses from known strains, or to derive the strains from known stresses. This point was not clearly mentioned in the previous paper (1979)[1]. In this paper, the high order Lagrange multiplier method (1983)[2] is used to construct the corresponding generalized variational principle in more general form. Throughout this paper, V/.V. Novozhilov's results (1958)[3] for nonlinear elasticity are used.

Abstract: In this paper the deformations and stability in large axisymmetric deflection of spherical caps under centrally distributed pressures are investigated. The Newton- spline method for solving the nonlinear equations governing large axisymmetric deflection of spherical caps is presented. The buckling behavior is studied for a cap with fixed geometry when the size of the loaded radius is allowed to vary, and for a fixed loaded radius when the shell geometry is allowed to vary. The influence of the buckling modes on the critical loads is analysed. Numerical results are given for ν=0.3.

TL;DR: In this article, the discontinuity of stresses and strains at interlaminar surfaces of the composue laminate and a variational principle corresponding to the 3D laminate theory is developed.
Abstract: This paper discusses the discontinuity of stresses and strains at interlaminar surfaces of the composue laminate and presents a 3-D laminate theory for composite materials. This paper also presents a new type of elastic energy based on the globally continuous variables in laminates, different from the traditional potential energy and complementary energy. Then, a variational principle corresponding to the 3-D laminate theory is developed. The theory and the principle could be a basis of verifying the 2-D laminate theory and determining the interlaminar stresses near the free edges.

TL;DR: In this paper, it has been shown that the undetermined multipliers in the equations of impact can be cancelled for both the generalized coordinates and the quasi-coordinates, thus there are only n-p equation of impact.
Abstract: In order to solve the problem of motion for the system with n degrees of freedom under the action of p impulsive constraints, we must solve the simultaneous equations consisting of n+p equations. In this paper, it has been shown that the undetermined multipliers in the equations of impact can be cancelled for the cases of both the generalized coordinates and the quasi-coordinates. Thus there are only n-p equations of impact. Combining these equations with p impulsive constraint equations, we have simultaneous equations consisting of n equations. Therefore, only n equations are necessary to solve the problem of impact for the system subjected to impulsive constraints. The method proposed in this paper is simpler than ordinary methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the transient spherical flow behavior of a slightly compressible non-Newtonian, power-law fluids in porous media is studied and a nonlinear partial differential equation of parabolic type is derived.
Abstract: The transient spherical flow behavior of a slightly compressible non-Newtonian, power-law fluids in porous media is studied. A nonlinear partial differential equation of parabolic type is derived. The diffusivity equation for spherical flow is a special case of the new equation. We obtain analytical, asymptotic and approximate solutions by using the methods of Laplace transform and weighted mass conservation. The structures of asymptotic and approximate solutions are similar, which enriches the theory of one-dimensional flow of non-Newtonian fluids through porous media.
