Postbuckling analysis of cross-ply laminated cylindrical shell panels under parabolic mechanical edge loading
AbstractPostbuckling equilibrium paths of simply supported cross-ply laminated cylindrical shell panels subjected to non-uniform (parabolic) inplane loads are traced in this paper. Love's shell theory with higher order shear deformation theory and von Kármán nonlinear strain–displacement relations are used in the mathematical formulation of the problem. In the first step, the plate membrane problem is solved to evaluate the stress distribution within the prebuckling range as the applied inplane edge load is non-uniform. The governing shell panel postbuckling equations are derived from the principle of minimum total potential energy using the above stress distributions. Adopting multi-term Galerkin's approximation, the governing equations are reduced into a set of non-linear algebraic equations. Newton–Raphson method in conjunction with Riks approach is employed to plot the postbuckling paths through limit points. Numerical results are presented for symmetric (0/90/0) crossply laminated cylindrical shell panels under parabolic inplane load, lateral distributed load and initial imperfections. Limit loads and snap-through behavior of shell panels are studied.
