We describe calculations of the properties of quantum fluids inside nanotubes of various sizes. Very small radius (R) pores confine the gases to a line, so that a one-dimensional (1D) approximation is applicable; the low temperature behavior of 1D He is discussed. Somewhat larger pores permit the particles to move off axis, resulting eventually in a transition to a cylindrical shell phase—a thi...

in this study, first energy absorption of axial and bending loading is considered. next, thin walled structures under oblique loading are investigated using abaqus computer simulation, where 180 different cases are simulated. simulation results of the thin walled structures under oblique loading were compared with the experimental results of nagel, and good agreement was perceived. simulation r...

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...

in this study, the free vibration of partially fluid-filled laminated composite circular cylindrical shell with arbitrary boundary conditions has been investigated by using rayleigh-ritz method. the analysis has been carried out with strain-displacement relations based on love’s thin shell theory and the contained fluid is assumed irrotational, incompressible and inviscid. after determining the...

To study the dynamic response of a pressurized thin-walled circular tube structure subjected to near-field underwater explosion, deformation and damage tests cylindrical shell with different internal pressures wall thicknesses effects an explosion from 2 g explosives at stand-off distances were carried out in water tank. LS-DYNA finite element software was used carry relevant numerical simulati...

The internal pressure of a thin-walled cylindrical structure under axial compression may improve the buckling stability by relieving loads and reducing initial imperfections. In this study, effect on knockdown factor is investigated for axially compressed composite cylinders with different shell thickness ratios slenderness ratios. Various are considered when derived both pressure. Nonlinear po...

In this paper the effect of random geometric imperfections on the critical load of isotropic, thin-walled, cylindrical shells under axial compression with rectangular cutouts is presented. Second moment characteristics of geometric imperfections are estimated by data of available measurements, a simulation procedure based on the Karhunen-Loéve expansion is applied for generating realizations of...

Crashworthiness studies are in high demand for designing transportation systems. Energy absorption capability in vehicle collisions is an important parameter for the development of passive safety systems dealing with the protection of passengers and cargo departments in the event of an accident. Protective structures, which contribute significantly to the crashworthiness capability of automotiv...

The scattering of plane steady-state sound waves from a viscous fluid-filled thin cylindrical shell weakened by a long linear slit and submerged in an ideal fluid is studied. For the description of vibrations of elastic objects the Kirchhoff–Love shell-theory approximation is used. An exact solution of this problem is obtained in the form of series with cylindrical harmonics. The numerical anal...
