Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book provides engineering tools for the design of shells against buckling. A simplified approach is given in a number of cases which are not addressed in current design codes.
Table of Contents
Introduction. Scope. Brief historical notes with references to the literature. Theory of stability. Design philosophy. Design procedure. Requirements on the load carrying structure. The design analysis process. Loads and load factors. Resistance and resistance factors. Design criteria. Design by testing.
Elementary cases. Introduction. Cylindrical shells. Conical shells. Spherical shells. Pressure vessel heads - torispherical, ellipsoidal and hemispherical. Tank roofs. Shells composed of different shell elements.
Effect of local loads and disturbances. Buckling caused by local loads. Effect of holes and cutouts. Effect of local reinforcements.
Influence of temperature. Temperature gradient through the shell thickness. Non-uniform temperature distribution. Creep buckling.
Stability analysis by use of numerical methods. Parameters influencing the accuracy of a theoretical prediction. Options for stability analysis. Classification of stability problems.
Shells of composite materials. Buckling analysis of composite shells.
Examples. Pulp tower. Cylindrical shell with large openings. Analysis of a spherical roof buckling incident: a] Buckling of the inner roof, b] Snap-back of the buckled roof, c] Repair work.
Appendix A. Brief review of the theory of stability for shell structures.
Appendix B. Elementary cases for stress and deformation analysis of rings subjected to forces in their own plane.
Appendix C. Diagrams for analysis of stringer stiffened cylindrical shells under axial compression. Index.
