Computer Simulation of the Process of Loss of Stability of Composite Cylindrical Shells Under Combined Quasi-static and Dynamic Loads

Thin-walled cylindrical shells are used in elements of highly loaded products of mechanical engineering and energy. Along with their frequent use in production, experimental research in laboratories is also carried out constantly. This allows to simulate the behavior of the shell when exposed to external forces. But sometimes conducting an experiment becomes little possible due to the limitation of the power of the experimental apparatus when modeling the corresponding conditions of exposure to the shell in practice, therefore, improving theoretical methods for calculating the limiting states of shells when working in the elastoplastic region is relevant. The purpose of the study is to verify the conformity of the results of the experiment conducted on a thin-walled cylindrical shell made of steel 45 (GOST 1050-2013) when exposed to the sample by stretching, compression and torsion forces with theoretical calculations based on the equations of the theory of elastic-plastic processes by A.A. Ilyushin. The equations of the defining relations of the theory of elastic-plastic processes by A.A. Ilyushin for arbitrary trajectories of complex loading and deformation of materials in the deviatory deformation space Э1-Э3 are presented. All theoretical results are checked for compliance with the experiment, the reliability of the existing theory of stability is assessed. The solution is presented in the form of graphs of the dependence of the vector and scalar properties of the material on the length of the arc of the deformation trajectory and other parameters. Numerical values are selectively presented for different loading stages.

Relevance. The use of shells as thin-walled structures for various industries is very diverse. Spherical shells are widely used in the aircraft industry, circular cylindrical shells are used in the oil and gas industry, and more than 30 analytical forms of shells have been used in the construction industry. All elements of shell structures are undoubtedly subject to various strength calculations. Also, a separate role in the study is occupied by the experimental part, which confirms or refutes the calculated equations, this indicates the undoubted perspective and relevance of modeling the loading of shell structures. The aim of the study is to assess the condition of a thin-walled shell under three-parameter loading by tensile, compression and torsion forces. Methods. Experimental studies on the deformation of shells carried out in laboratory conditions on prototypes made of steel 45 GOST 1050-2013 are presented, and the loading conditions of the sample are modeled, similar to the possible conditions for applying loads to existing structures. Results. Experimental diagrams of deformation of the sample material in various planes are given, the development of deformation of the shell after applying joint efforts of stretching and torsion, as well as compression and torsion to the destruction of the material is estimated. For the relevance of the conducted experiment, a real design has been selected, which, when certain conditions are created, can experience appropriate experimental loads.

The development of the construction industry in terms of the design and manufacture of shell structures of non-standard architectural forms made of materials with complex mechanical properties requires using modern integrated computer-aided design systems with step-by-step modeling of deformation of structural elements under operating conditions, as well as taking into account their subsequent behavior after accumulation of residual strains during plastic deformation. The purpose of the study is to simulate the process of plastic deformation of a thin-walled cylindrical shell made of 9X2 GOST 5950-2000 (Interstate Standard) steel under compression and torsion with theoretical calculations based on the general theory of elastoplastic processes by A.A. Ilyushin. The constitutive equations of the theory of elastoplastic processes by A.A. Ilyushin for complex loading path and deformation of materials in the deviatoric strain space are presented. Based on the presented solutions, according to the strain path of the 9X2 steel shell implemented in the model, the graphs showing the relation of the vector and scalar properties of the material to the arc length of the strain path are constructed. A conclusion is made about the degree of hardening of the material in question and its dependence on the magnitude of the angle of convergence at the kink point of the complex path. The graphs of changes in the constitutive plasticity functions with respect to the increments of the arc length of the strain path are presented.
