Indentation of ellipsoidal and cylindrical elastic shells.
Thin shells are found in nature at scales ranging from viruses to hens' eggs; the stiffness of such shells is essential for their function. We present the results of numerical simulations and theoretical analyses for the indentation of ellipsoidal and cylindrical elastic shells, considering both pressurized and unpressurized shells. We provide a theoretical foundation for the experimental findi...
متن کاملFinite indentation of highly curved elastic shells
Experimentally measuring the elastic properties of thin biological surfaces is non-trivial, particularly when they are curved. One technique that may be used is the indentation of a thin sheet of material by a rigid indenter, while measuring the applied force and displacement. This gives immediate information on the fracture strength of the material (from the force required to puncture), but it...
متن کاملTorsional Stability of Cylindrical Shells with Functionally Graded Middle Layer on the Winkler Elastic Foundation
In this study, the torsional stability analysis is presented for thin cylindrical with the functionally graded (FG) middle layer resting on the Winker elastic foundation. The mechanical properties of functionally graded material (FGM) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law and exponential distributions in terms of volume fractions of the constituents...
متن کاملNon-Linear Analysis of Asymmetrical Eccentrically Stiffened FGM Cylindrical Shells with Non-Linear Elastic Foundation
In this paper, semi-analytical method for asymmetrical eccentrically stiffened FGM cylindrical shells under external pressure and surrounded by a linear and non-linear elastic foundation is presented. The proposed linear model is based on two parameter elastic foundation Winkler and Pasternak. According to the von Karman nonlinear equations and the classical plate theory of shells, strain-displ...
متن کاملAnisotropic blistering instability of highly ellipsoidal shells.
The formation of localized periodic structures in the deformation of elastic shells is well documented and is a familiar first stage in the crushing of a spherical shell such as a ping-pong ball. While spherical shells manifest such periodic structures as polygons, we present a new instability that is observed in the indentation of a highly ellipsoidal shell by a horizontal plate. Above a criti...
