Permanent magnet arrays have advantages for magnetic field generation over the traditional current based magnetic flux sources, such as electromagnets, in that they do not require a power supply and cooling system. Magnetic flux density above the magnetic remanence BR of the permanent magnet material can be achieved by arranging the permanent magnet segments in the form of hollow cylindrical sh...

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...

We report on a top-down method for the controlled fabrication of three-dimensional (3D), closed, thin-shelled, hollow nanostructures (nanocages) on planar supports. The presented approach is based on conventional microelectronic fabrication processes and exploits the permeability of thin metal films to hollow-out polymer-filled metal nanocages through an oxygen-plasma process. The technique is ...

this study aimed to investigate the effects of stiffeners on buckling of thin cylindrical shells under uniform axial compression. to this end, more than 300 finite element models of stiffened cylindrical shells were prepared. the variables considered are shell thickness, number, dimension and the location of the vertical and horizontal stiffeners as well as circular symmetrical imperfections. r...

in this paper the meshless local petrov-galerkin (mlpg) method is implemented to study the buckling of isotropic cylindrical shells under axial load. displacement field equations, based on donnell and first order shear deformation theory, are taken into consideration. the set of governing equations of motion are numerically solved by the mlpg method in which according to a semi-inverse method, ...

In this study, discrepancies between the free vibration of fiber-metal laminate (FML) and composite cylindrical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on Love’s first approximation shell theory have been considered by beam modal function model. The representative volume elements consist of three and four phases for composite and FML structures, respectively, which include fiber, CNT...

Hollow cylindrical and truncated conical shells depict enhanced torsional shear resistance compared to beams plates are ubiquitously used in structures aeronautics, submarines, wind turbines, pressure vessels, transmission pylons. Upon extensive localised blast, these elements undergo local global deformation failure. The detrimental damage the shell depends on stand-off charge mass is proporti...
