Hydrothermal convection in moderately thin spherical shells.
Hydrothermal convection of pore water with a temperature-dependent viscosity within a permeable, internally heated, moderately thin spherical shell is investigated by both a perturbation analysis and a direct numerical simulation. The analysis and simulation are mainly focused on a thin spherical shell in that convective instabilities are characterized by the spherical harmonic degree l=6 with ...
متن کاملFracture mechanics analysis of thin coatings under spherical indentation
Spherical indentation of a thin, hard coating bonded to a thick substrate is investigated. The bending of the coating over the softer substrate induces concentrated tensile stresses on the lower and upper coating surfaces, from which transverse cracks may ensue. This work is primarily concerned with ring cracks originating from the top surface of the coating. In-situ indentation tests are carri...
متن کاملBuckling of Spherical Shells Revisited
A study is presented of the post-buckling behavior and imperfection-sensitivity of complete spherical shells subject to uniform external pressure. The study builds on and extends the major contribution to spherical shell buckling by W.T. Koiter in the 1960’s. Numerical results are presented for the axisymmetric large deflection behavior of perfect spheres followed by an extensive analysis of th...
متن کاملNematic textures in spherical shells.
The equilibrium texture of nematic shells is studied as a function of their thickness. For ultrathin shells the ground state has four short 1/2 disclination lines but, as the thickness of the film increases, a three-dimensional escaped configuration composed of two pairs of half-hedgehogs becomes energetically favorable. We derive an exact solution for the nematic ground state in the one Frank ...
متن کاملBuckling Analysis of Concrete Spherical Shells
In some simple two-dimensional structures it is sufficient to determine only the lowest value of the load at which buckling commences. However, in the case of shells, it may be also necessary to investigate the postbuckling behavior because it has an important bearing on the magnitude of the failure load. The importance of the postbuckling behavior, which the small deflection theory of buckling...
