SCOPE OF CONTENTS:

The Rayleigh-Ritz l~thod of Trial Function has been

adopted to solve problems of translational shells under

uniform external pressure. The basic energetical expressions

have been written in terms of direct tensor notation. The

stress-strain displacement relations are given in linear sense.

Three different kinds of boun·d~ry conditions --- all four

edges fixed, one pair of edges fixed and another pair of edges

simply supported, and all four edges simply supported --- have

been analysed. The stress and moment resultants at different

points of the shell have been computed by means of IB.t-1 7040, and

are plotted into curves and figures to show their variations. The convergence of the displacement function u is roughly z verified. Certain comparison with other established results

have been made. The results obtained by the present approach

are satisfactory, at least from an engineering point of view.

INTH.ODUCTION

By definition, a shell is a three dimensional body bounded by two curved surfaces whose one dimension is negligibly

small compared with the other two

dimensions. (See Fig. I-1) The surface which lies at equal

MIDt>l..c distances between these two SVRFAC£: FIG- I-1 bounding external surfaces defines the middle surface of the shell. Dy definition, a shallow shell has a configuration that its rise of APEX its middle surface H from the base plane is less than 1/5 of the

projected length of the shortest e of the middle surface measured

in its base plane. If the shell in Fig. I-2 is shallow, then its

FIG-. I-2 Y geometric configuration satisfies the condition II

by a curve translated along another fixed curve as shown in Fig. I-3.

Therefore, a thin shallow translational FIEr. I-3 shell is a shell which satisfies all the criteria mentioned above.

1 2

The functions chosen to describe the middle surface of

·thin shallow shells of translation are generally of the hyperbolic paraboloidal, elliptic paraboloidal or parabolic qylind~ical type. The present investigation is restricted to the elliptic paraboloidal type of thin translational shell.

The purpose of this study, which was carried out in 1964 is to present a simple yet practical method for analyzing the transverse flexure of thin shallow translational shell structures of moderate proportions. The major purpose of this thesis lies in an attempt to develop some general solutions for the behaviour of the translational shell in transverse bending by means of variational trial-function technique_in the form of the

Rayleigh--Ritz method as expounded in COURANT texts in· 1953 and

1965, by HORSE and FESBACH in 1953 and KOPAL in 1961. The exact general solution of the basic differential equations of such translational shells is still to be found. For general techniques of solution of differential equations see KOSHLYAKOV,

StHRNOV and GLINER in 1964. The major reason for the absence of a general exact solution lies presumably in the exceptional complexity of the basic differential equations and in the requirements imposed by the general boundary conditions.

For special types of boundary conditions,

Sergei A. AHBARTSUNYAN in 1947, Konrad IIRUBAN in 1953, and

Wilhelm FLUGGE and D.A. Conrad in 1959, have derived restricted solutions. In 1957, Gunhard lill.ORAVAS derived a solution for a special type of such shells by using the DONNEL-MUSHTARI-VLASOV's equation of shallmv thin shells, in combination with 3

Friedrich TOLKE's pseudo-complex function method in order to arrive at the solution in the form of the stress function and normal displacement function representing a combined series of e:x:ponential and trigonometric functions. The Nor-v1egian engineer

Kristoffal APELAND developed a general-ized D. BERNOULLI-LEVY semidirect solution for translational shells with various boundary conditions in 1961 by adopting AMBARTSUHYAN'S method. Some analyses and tests for translational shells over circular and rectangular bases have been carried out by

Mario G. SALVADORI in 1956. In Europe, Pal CSONKA in 1955;

Nolfgang ZERNA in 1953; and his student Goswin MITTEL!1AN!'.t in

1958, contributed to the approximate momentless and flexural theory of thin translational shells. In 1959, the Italian engineer Pietro MATILDI analyzed shells of translation over r~ctangular and square bases by a method of superposition similar to TIMOSI-IENKO' s method for plates. CHAPTER 2

ENERGY METHOD IN ANALYZING

THIN SHALLOW TRANSLA'fiONAL SHELLS

2-1. General Equation of Strain Energy for Thin Shallow Shells

The general expression of strain energy for thin elastic

shallow shells has long been established by the use of the

indirect scalar method. Recently, Dr. John SCHROEDER, formerly

of McMaster University, derived it by means of direct tensor

methods via kinematic considerations (see Appendix I). The

final formulation is as follows

Furthermore, owing to the shallowness of the shell, it is admissible to approximate the strain components by their projections along the directions of the base Cartesian co-ordinates x and y. Also, it is reasonable to replace the normal displacement u by the vertical displacement uz. After 3 these simplifications, the equations (II-1-1) and (II-1-2) are reduced to the follmving forms:

For translational shells over square or rectangular ~2tJ1T ~ bases, it is ah;rays possible to reduce the term l lt-v) ( 1>.(" Jj1- _. in expression (II-1-3) to be identically zero. This 6 can be demonstrated in various ways. The simplest way is by applying the method of integration by parts. Since.

Geometrically speaJdng, this simplification means that the

integration of the strain energy density over the middle surface of the shell is instead carried out over the projected base plan of the middle surface. ~f the shell is a shallow one, this

approximation yields sufficiently accurate results for practical purposes. In section . (~-2-1) of the next chapter, it can be seen that this approximation is quite sufficient for the present case. All later analyses are based upon this approximation.

2-4. Shells with One Pair of Edges Fixed and Another Pair of

Edges Simply Supported

For a shell with one pa~r of edges fixed and another pair of edges simply supi_Jorted, say, the t\vo edges at x = ± a/2 are fixed, and those at y = ± b/2 are simply supported, the 14

3-1. Convergence of the Displacement Function

Before going to the applications, the problem of convergence of the chosen series of the pisplacement functions in their application to various geometric configurations of translational shell is subjected to a careful consideration at this stage. In expressions (II-3-8), (II-4-4) and (II-5-4) in the last chapter, the portion which is derived from the membranal

(II-3-8)

(III-1-lb) from (II-4-4)

(III-1-lc) from (II-5-4)

It is obvious that these expressions are functions of the

thl Kch' . . thickness h and the normal curvatures K.)(, y only 1.e., that expressions (III-1-la,b,c} may be assumed to be constant with respect to the series indices m and n. Therefore, the problem becomes large.ly dependent upon hov1 the expressions (III-1-la,b ,c) influence the convergence of various shapes of translational shells, and under their influence, hovl rapidly will the vertical displacement series converge. For the first question, a procedure has been derived in the following paragraphs. For the second question, a series of numerical calculations have been prepared to establish a general estimation.

16 17

If the shell thickness h is fixed to 4 inches in the expressions (III-1-la ,b, c) \vhich is a reasonahle thickness of a reinforced concrete shell of moderate proportions, the only factors which would influence the magnitudes of these expressions are the norma1 curvatures Kx.<"J and K'J'"' • Thus the maximum and minimum values of expressions (III-1-la,b,c) depend upon the maximum and minimum values of the expression

(III-1-2) Now, returning to the function of the middle surface of the shell, which is ('III-1-3) } =- ~ ( K~" 1 ~ 2 + K~'y 2 ) + H let a~b, II= b/w, in v.Jhicho)~S, then, \vhen x = a/2, y = b/2, and z = 0, expression (III-1-3) becomes i (k~h'o.2.-t 1<~~, ~) = ~

· For translational shells with all edges fixed, the above derivations show that the spherical shell assumes a minimum membranal strain energy, while the cylindrical shell assumes a maximum merrbranal strain energy. The ordinary paraboloidal translational shell assumes a membranal strain energy 't-rhich lies in between the strain energies 'of the spherical and cylindrical shells. Therefore, the displacement series for the spherical shell with a square base plan possesses the fastest rate of convergence, while for the cy~irldrical shell the convergence is the slowest. In order to show hm\r fast the displacement series will actually converge, a few special cases have been considered.

Vertical displacements at the apex of a series of shells have been calculated and tabulated in Table (III-1}. The results agree with the above theory.

Table (III-1) shov:s that the difference betHeen u and z 1 uz is always less than 3%, while the difference betvmen uz 2 2 and uz is less than 1% for all shells listed. So it should be 3 reasonable to say that the surnw.ation of eight terms of displacenent series will give quite satisfactory values, and twelve terms of displacement series will give still better values of u , Z ~~)XX TABLE III-1

The transverse stress resultants F(~) and F(~) are functions of the third derivatives yn xn of the vertical displacement series, therefore, the convergence of these quantities will be even slower ~1an those of the stress couples.

It is interesting to observe that the rate of convergence of the vertical displacement series varies at different points of a shell. For an example, curves of the vertical displacement u z of a translational shell \vith square base, a = 40' , b = 40 '· and clamped edges is shm·m in Fig. 3 -1) . Since the shell is doubly--symmetric, the curves are drawn only for a quarter of the shell, say, 0 ~xi a/2, 0 ~· y ~ b/2. The full line curves .represent the vertical displacement curves by expanding the function u z up to 24 terms. The broken line curves represent the same curves by expanding the same function up to 8 terms, vlhile the thin solid line curves represent the same curves by e·xpanding the same function up to 16 terms. It can be clearly observed that on the center line of the shell, the convergence of u is faster at those points within approximately the region z -0.2

curves near the edge, say, along curve x/a = 0.4, it seems that the convergence is a little slower at those points close to the center or the edge of the shell. Along other curves, the figure shows that the vertical displacement series u converges quite z uniformly.

First, substituting values of a, b, k(n), k(n), P, h, E X y and V listed above into expression (II-3-5) then (II-3-8) 7 different ~ets of Fourier coefficients are obtaine~, (see

Table (III-2)). It is obvious that the differences bet"~tJeen the corresponding values in these two sets are extremely small, say, mostly less than 3%. This shov7s numerically that the approximation by using expression (II-3-8) instead of expression (II-3-5) is quite reasonable. After substituting these values into expression (II-3-6), all values of M(O'"') M(O'"') F(~) F(v) at xy ' yx ' xx ' YY various points of the shell are obtained as shown in Figures (3-2)

For the purpose of evaluating the nature of convergency of the solution series for the stress resultants and stress

couples, the vertical displacement u is also expanded into z eight and sixteen terms by using expression (II-3-8). The corresponding stress resultants and couples are calculated through expression (II-3-6). The results are plotted in Figures

( 3-6 ) , ( 3 ,.;..7 ) , ( 3-8 ) , ( 3-9 ) and ( 3 -I0) • In Fig. ( 3-6 ) it is shown that at certain points of the shell, the convergence of the stress couple M(r)xy is. not sufficient by expanding uz into eight terms. For an example, in the neighborhood of sections Y/b =o.o,

X/~ =- 0.15, 0.225, 0.275 or 0.35, the ratio of the value of H(cr) xy on curve A. and curve B is always larger than 2. This means that the value of M calculated by expanding u into 16 terms xy z is only less than 50% of the value calculated by expanding u into B terms. At sections y/b 0.225 and 0.275, the sign z = is even reversed. Nevertheless, according to the same figure, there is little difference bet\veen the value of H~~) · on curve

B or on curve C. This suggests that already possesses quite M(~)xy a satisfactory convergence when it is calculated by expanding the deflection series u into 16 terms. Certainly, if 24 terms z of the series for transverse displacement u would be used to z calculate the stiess couple M(~), a good approximate result will xy be obtained. For Mi~), it is shown in Fig·. ( 3-7 ) that the corresponding variation is approximately the same as M(~), so . xy it also requires 16 terms of the vertical displacement series u z to achieve a better convergence.

are much more complicated than the expression (II-3-8) or

(II-5-4). For the purpose of giving a numerical example to shov1 the influence of the membranal displacements on the transverse dispalcement, stress couples and stress resultants, a simple case of a spherical translational shell in which 2 a= b = 40', k(n)= k(n)= 0.02, P = 90 lb/ft is calculated. X y Owing to the condition of complete syrrmetry, ux equals uy,. so the three simultaneous equations reduce to tvw as shown in Appendix D. Using these reduced two simultaneous equations to solve for the Fourier ·coefficients Amn of the transverse displacement u to 8 terms for the case of fixed boundaries, z and 25 terms for the case of simply supported boundaries, it is found that the difference between these Fourier coefficients to those ~btained by neglecting u and u are small for the X y case of fixed boundaries, but large for the case of simply supported boundaries. Therefore, any solution of stress couples or stress resultants obtained by the approximate method for a translational shell with simply supported boundaries should be used very carefully for design (see next section and conclusion) . The difference between stress couples and stress resultants obtained by these new Fourier coefficients and those obtained before are also small for the case of fixed boundaries, say, always less than 10%, and mostly less than 5%.

This can be observed in Fig. ( 3 - 3 3 ) and Fig . ( 3 -34 ) .

Hence, though values of stress couples and stress resultants obtained by neglecting u and u are not exact solutions, . X y they still can be reasonably used as guides for practical 62

3-5. Comparison of the Solution of This ~-iethod with SOARE's Method

As it is mentioned in the introduction, up to the present time, the rigorous solution of an elliptic paraboloidal shell of translation with fixed boundaries still has not been established. Therefore, a comparison of solutions of a spherical translational shell with simply supported boundaries is given.

In Fig. { S -35) and Fig. ( 3 -36) it cap be clearly observed that the difference betV?een solutions obtained by the approximate n'tcthod and the method of SOARE' s is quite large; especially for the stress couple H{

CONCLUSIONS

From the numerical results of examples in the last chapter, it is observed that for shells with fixed boundaries stress couples are always larger at the apex as well as along the boundaries than at any other point. This kind of distribution is intuitively acceptable and is similar to the experimental results of spherical shells and cylinderical shells which appear as special cases in this thesis. The absolute value of stress couples at the apex seems to be larger than actual values. This is due to the difference betvJeen the assumed transverse displacement function and the real distribution of the transverse displacement. Nevertheless, as long as the boundary value problem is concerned, this method gives good approximate values of stress couples along the boundaries and is satisfactory for the design purpose.

The distribution of stress re~ultants is not sufficiently accurate near the boundaries, since in the calculation of the stress resultants, membranal strains ~)(I( and ~which have a major effect on stress resultants near the boundaries were neglected in expression (II-3-6). Therefore, instead of using the values of stress resultants obtained by this approximate method, it is bet.ter to consider them rather as indicative for the design.

For the shells of simply supported boundaries, the effect of surface displacements ux and uy on the transverse displacement u z is large as discussed in section (3-4). Therefore, unless u and u are included in every exp~ession, the result of X y

68 69

stress couples and stress resultants obtained by this method should be used for design with great care.

The results for shells with mixed boundaries should lie somewhere between these results. The author suggests to include the membranal displacernent in all expressions when the shell is not very shaJ.lov.r, say H/b near 1/5, but to exclude the membranal displacement.in all expressions when the shell is very shallow, i.e. for shells with ~/b = 1/10.

DERIVATION OF STRAIN ENERGY EXPRESSION FOR SHALLOl'7 SHELLS

LECTURE NOTES BY Dr. JOHN SCHROEDER

A directional tensor quantity of the second order is defined as a homogeneous bilinear vector-form

where el' e2, e3 are unit base vectors along three orthogonal curvilinear directions, and repeated indices imply summation.· Fo1lowing definitions, the general stress and strain tensors in elasticity are defined by,

+ cr2,e2.el t 02_2 e2e2 + 0z3 e2e3 + + o;, ~e. -t- 032 ~e.2 +

and € ::::. ~~~ e,e, + c,2 e, ~ + <=,~ e,e5 t

70 71

Furthermore, the double-dot product of Cf and~ is defined in its trinomial form

a::~ :.:: e... cr,... : es E:.s;:; e,_· es (Jt· E 5 - ~rs O""r· Es Its component form is

From the traditional definition, the stress-strain relation for isotropic Hookean materials, which excludes the thermal effects, is cr­ = 2A e+i\ cE: 1 ) 1 (2) whereA{,Aare Cauchy-Lame's First and Second Elastic Constants,

For thin shells, the thickness always represents a small quantity in comparison vlith its other b7o dimensions, therefore,

it is usually possible to treat thin shell theory as an approximate bidimensional continuum problem. In this approximation, the

Kirchhoff-Aron Hypothesis is enforced and £ E- E c:l31 31, .:l-31 72

and E32 are assumed to be identically zero. But, for the purpose of simplifying the final expression of strain energy

·the normal strain component c33 is retained by imposing the condition of plane stress 0'33 :::a , and €:H is thus expressed

as a function of c11 and e2.2. in virtue of the stress-strain relation. Even though this procedure is not quite consistent,

yet since €: 33 is normally a much smaller strain than E 11 and €22 , the final results are not appreciably affected by this

approximation. Consequently, the strain tensor reduces to its

simplified form
