THE MEMBRANE APPROACH TO BENDING INSTABILITY OF PRESSURIZED CYLINDRICAL SHELLS

Recent theoretical and experimental research is briefly described to trace the development of deformation and the occurrence of collapse in pressurized circular cylindrical membranes under applied moment loading. The collapse of pure membrane cylinders is then compared with instability of pressurized cylindrical shells. This approach leads to a better understanding of the behavior of pressurized cylinders under bending loads. The results suggest possibilities for further research utilizing the membrane approach.

A circumferential crack in a cylindrical shell under torsion.

The fully antisymmetric problem for a cylindrical shell with a circumferential crack is considered. The solution of the problem is reduced to that of a system of singular integral equations of the first kind. As an example the torsion of the cylinder is discussed and membrane and bending components of the stress intensity factor ratio are given.

On sound transmission into a stiffened cylindrical shell with rings and stringers treated as discrete elements

In the context of the transmission of airborne noise into an aircraft fuselage, a mathematical model is presented for the transmission of an oblique plane sound wave into a finite cylindrical shell stiffened by stringers and ring frames. The rings and stringers are modeled as discrete structural elements. The numerical case studied was typical of a narrow-bodied jet transport fuselage. The numerical results show that the ring-frequency dip in the transmission loss curve that is present for a monocoque shell is still present in the case of a stiffened shell. The ring frequency effect is a result of the cylindrical geometry of the shell. Below the ring frequency, stiffening does not appear to have any significant effect on transmission loss, but above the ring frequency, stiffeners can enhance the transmission loss of a cylindrical shell.
