| Popis: | The effects of geometric nonlinearity on the response of axially cracked cylindrical shells under internal pressure are investigated in a general way. Using the Donnell-Mushtari-Vlasov nonlinear shell equations, the nonlinear response is shown to depend on two nondimensional parameters: the geometrical parameter λ, which is a function of the cylinder geometries and crack length, and the loading parameter η, which depends on the applied pressure, material properties, and cylinder geometries. To assess the applicability of such parameters, nonlinear analyses of different cylindrical configurations were performed using the STAGS finite element code. The results show that the two parameters are able to characterize the nonlinear response of such cylinders. Effects of nonlinearity are then presented in the form of an iso-nonlinear plot showing the percentage difference between the linear and nonlinear stress intensification factors. Using the iso-nonlinear plot, the importance of geometric nonlinearity can thus be assessed once the cylinder geometries, loading parameters, and material properties are known. |
