Growth of Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instabilities under the axisymmetric explosion are investigated by two-dimensional hydrodynamical calculations. The degree of the axisymmetric explosion and amplitude of the initial perturbation are varied parametrically to find the most favorable parameter for reproducing the observed line profile of heavy elements. It is found that spherical explosion can not p...

A variant of the rotation shell in particular form a closed circular cylindrical shell, which is often used design practice civil, power and other industrial structures, considered. The specificity considered lies features its material, has manifestation dual anisotropy. In particular, this material orthotropic structure, nature deformation shows dependence stiffness strength on type stress sta...

This study aims to investigate the effects of geometric imperfections on buckling of thin cylindrical shells due to global shear. To this end, more than 320 finite element models of cylindrical shells with different diameter to thickness ratios were prepared. Random imperfections with different amplitudes were applied to numerical models. The results revealed that global buckling of cylindrical...

Background: Marine pollution is a global environmental problem that its monitoring by ideal biomonitors is of great importance. Marine organisms, especially mussels, have the ability to accumulate metals from the environment they can be considered as a biomonitoring agent. Methods: In this study, concentrations of heavy metals were measured in Saccostrea cucullata collected from seven sites on...

The present study aims at investigating stress and deformation behavior of rotating thick truncated conical shells subjected to variable internal pressure. Material prpperties of the shells are graded along the axial direction by Mori-tanaka scheme, which is achieved by elemental gradation of the properties.Governing equations are derived using principle of stsionary total potential (PSTP) and ...

Abstract The prediction of the buckling resistance shells is subject to uncertainty since it depends significantly on initial geometric imperfections caused by fabrication process. However, load case vacuum or uniform external pressure has not yet been extensively studied. Stress design approaches implement a reduction factor alpha that accounts for effect imperfections. This assumed be general...

A parametric study was carried out in order to investigate the buckling capacity of the vertically stiffened cylindrical shells. To this end ANSYS software was used. Cylindrical steel shells with different yield stresses, diameter-to-thickness ratios (D/t) and number of stiffeners were modeled and their buckling capacities were calculated by displacement control nonlinear static analysis.  Radi...

Herein paper compares the analytical model with the FEM based numerical model of the axisymmetric bending of circular sandwich plates. Also, the paper describes equations of the circular symmetrical sandwich plates bending with isotropic face sheets and the nonlinear elastic core material. The method of constructing an analytical solution of nonlinear differential equations has been described. ...
