Popis: | The effect of boundary conditions is very important in the analysis of cylindrical shells, and is rarely studied in the literature due to its difficult experimental simulation. For large structures such as shell roofs, the type of boundary supports is among the major factors that can minimize the stresses and deflections. In this study, experimental and numerical investigations of the effect of different boundary supports for stiffened and un-stiffened cylindrical shells were conducted. Two different models of the stiffened and un-stiffened cylindrical shells with different boundary conditions, “pinned and with rigid diaphragms”, were studied. It was shown that by using rigid diaphragms for cylindrical shells, the deflections are minimized by 80%, and by (45–50) % for the stiffened cylindrical shells. From the experimental investigations and the numerical results obtained, the efficiency of the proposed boundary support types for cylindrical shells is confirmed, which can result in economic benefits. |
