Using the infinitesimal theory of elasticity and analytical formulation, displacements and stresses based on the high-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is presented for axisymmetric thick-walled cylinders made of functionally graded materials under internal and/or external uniform pressure. The material is assumed to be isotropic heterogeneous with constant Poisson’s ratio and radially varyi...

In this article, thermo-elastic-behavior of a thick-walled cylinder made from a polystyrene nanocomposite reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was carried out in radial direction while subjected to a steady state thermal field. The SWCNTs were assumed aligned, straight with infinite length and a uniform layout. Two types of variations in the volume fr...

Abstract The purpose of the experiment described herein is the study of material deformation (here a cylinder) induced by explosives. During its expansion, the cylinder (initially 3 mm thick) is thinning until fracture appears. Some tens of microseconds before destruction, strain localizations occur and induce mechanical necking. To characterize the time of first localizations, 25 stereoscopic ...

We report what is to our knowledge the first observation of a subpicosecond terahertz (THz) pulse propagating as a superposition of the whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) of a dielectric cylinder. The WGM THz pulses are coupled into and out of a 5-mm-diameter silicon cylinder via a 100-mum -thick, single-mode silicon slab waveguide. We observed two round-trip cylindrical cavity pulses from this co...

Non-Symmetrical Plastic Collapse Modes of a Symmetrically Loaded Circular Cylinder. P18stic collapse modes of a thick-walled homogeneous cylinder under circularly-symmetrical loading (internal and external normal pressures) are analyzed. Ideal plasticity, I-IUBEIt-~ISES-HENC]~Y yield condition, incompressibility and plane strain conditions are assumed. The possibility of existence of non-syrm~e...

in this paper, the deformation of a thick-walled circular cylindrical shell of incompressible isotropic elastic material is considered. the shell, which is made of three-term strain energy function is subjected to the combined external and axial loading pressure. in order to obtain the relevant eigenvalues, which is the main objective of the work, the incremental equilibrium equations are so...

The present study aims to investigate the analysis of stress, strain, displacement, and electrical potential of a thick hollow cylinder made of FGPM under mechanical and thermal loads. Distribution of mechanical property of material is considered along the shell stick through the power distribution function. Thermal loads have been taken to signify the difference of temperature between outer an...

Using multi-layers method (MLM), a semi-analytical solution have been derived for determination of displacements and stresses in a thick cylindrical shell with variable thickness under non-uniform pressure. Three different profiles (convex, linear and concave) are considered for the variable thickness cylinder. Given the existence of shear stress in the thick cylindrical shell due to thickness ...

The integrity assessment to evaluate the safety margin of reactor pressure vessels (RPV) often considers only crack initiation and excludes propagation analysis. This contribution focuses on analysis in RPV steels. eXtended Finite Element (XFEM) method implemented ABAQUS is applied a thick-walled cylindrical specimen with circumferential at inner surface order simulate embrittled subjected Pres...
