Ultimate strength of cylindrical shells with cutouts

Abstract: KEYWORDSCutouts; ultimate strength; wind turbine tower; parameters of influence; nonlinear finite element method ABSTRACT Cutouts -perforations that are often made in wind turbine towers to allow access or passage -can also reduce the towers' ultimate strength. Thus, cutouts may need to be included in the ultimate strength formulations for wind turbine towers as an influential parameter, where significant. The aims of this study are to examine the effects of cutouts on the ultimate-strength characteristics of … Show more

“…Ifayefunmi (2016) investigated the buckling behavior of short mild steels with length (L:118.8 mm), diameter (D:100 mm) and three different thickness (t:0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mm) using experimental and FE methods. Umbarkar et al (2013); Feng et al (2016); Rouzegar and Elahi (2016); Lee et al (2017); Rouzegar et al ( 2018) focused on the effect of size, number of hole and location in their research. Shariati and Rokhi (2008) investigated the effect of elliptic holes on thin-walled cylindrical steels using numerical and experimental methods.…”

“…Rao Yarrapragada et al (2012) used the Windenburg equation, which was developed for homogeneous materials, to predict the critical buckling pressure of composite shells with equivalent stiffness moduli, and compared the results with NLFEM. It is not surprising that a lot of studies on cylindrical shells made of steel or composite materials have also been made in the literature (Jones, 2010;Bai et al, 2013a;Bai et al, 2013b;Smith et al, 2013;Bai et al, 2014;Guz et al, 2014;Abdel-Nasser et al, 2015;Lee et al, 2016;Xiong et al, 2017).…”

“…Such capabilities are provided by software systems such as NAS-TRAN, ANSYS, ABAQUS, and others. Since the late 60's of the last century, the application of FEM for the problems of studying the SSB and the load-bearing capacity of shells with holes has become increasingly common [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Nevertheless, it is necessary to state the fact that researches by using the FEM, in particular, stress concentration, critical loads and ultimate states, in which the deformation nonlinearity of the shells with holes is taken into account, is not enough.…”
