We study a 3D fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem between an incompressible, viscous fluid modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations, and the motion of an elastic structure, modeled by the linearly elastic cylindrical Koiter shell equations, allowing structure displacements that are not necessarily radially symmetric. The problem is set on a cylindrical domain in 3D, and is driven by the tim...

in the present study, vibration of cylindrical laminates with different layers and angles were studied. in order to actuate and polarize in radial direction, a piezoelectric layer was located at outer surface of composite shell. laminates were assumed long enough so that plane strain state analysis in 2d can be used properly. in order to satisfy the boundary conditions, variables in terms of fo...

The free vibration analysis of the functionally graded cylindrical shell panels  with and without cutout is carried out using the finite element method based on a higher-order shear deformation theory. A higher-order theory is used to properly account for transverse shear deformation. An eight noded degenerated isoparametric shell element with nine degrees of freedom at each node is considered....

This study evaluates a fluid-filled, closed-cell lattice as novel route to reducing peak acceleration in impact environments. A conical structure was designed and built using fused filament fabrication. One manufactured hollow (100% air), another 70% filled with water (50% by height) third 100% water-filled. Peak evaluated performing 4.1 kg impacts at 1, 2, 3 m/s. Impacts were then simulated sh...

We study a nonlinear, unsteady, moving boundary, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem arising in modeling blood flow through elastic and viscoelastic arteries. The fluid flow, which is driven by the time-dependent pressure data, is governed by 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, while the elastodynamics of the cylindrical wall is modeled by the 1D cylindrical Koiter shell model. Two...

this article gives an approach to predict the springbackward phenomena during post solidification cooling in a functionally graded hybrid composite cylindrical shell with transverse isotropic structure. here the material properties are considered to be given with a general parabolic power-law function. during theoretical analysis, appropriate transform is introduced in the equilibrium equation ...

The elastic modulus and failure behavior of poly(urea-formaldehyde) shelled microcapsules were determined through single-capsule compression tests. Capsules were tested both dry and immersed in a fluid isotonic with the encapsulent. The testing of capsules immersed in a fluid had little influence on mechanical behavior in the elastic regime. Elastic modulus of the capsule shell wall was extract...

The interaction of acoustic waves with fluid-loaded shell structures is an ongoing area of interest in underwater acoustics, ship construction and detection. The elasticity of the structure permits strong surfaceborne wave effects, which can be significant or dominant in large structures (many wavelengths in size). The significance of surface borne waves is compounded by low loss factors, enabl...

In the present work, study of the vibration of a functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shell made up of stainless steel, zirconia, and nickel is presented. Free vibration analysis is presented for FG cylindrical shells with simply supported-simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary condition based on temperature independent material properties. The equations of motion are derived by Hamilton...
