Non-axisymmetric Local Stability Loss of a Hollow Cylinder: Three-Dimensional Stability Loss in Time-Dependent Composites

by Surkay D. Akbarov, Zafer Kutug, Muhammad Yousaf Anwar

Overview

The book presents formulations and examples of three-dimensional non-axisymmetric stability in viscoelastic anisotropic cylindrical shells. The most critical stability loss modes are determined by minimizing the critical loads and critical times with respect to the number of half-waves in radial as well as transverse directions.

Currently, there is no literature available on three-dimensional local buckling analysis (or localized warpage) that considers non-axisymmetric stability loss in viscoelastic cylindrical shells. The contents of this book provide the formulation for such a stability loss analysis through the framework of the three-dimensional linearized theory of stability. Additionally, as this book addresses the problem by modeling the material as a viscoelastic fibrous composite, it can be applied to carry out buckling analysis in both elastic and viscoelastic cases.

• Guide to modelling composite viscoelastic shell elements for buckling analysis
• Provides a framework for defining the failure criterion for viscoelastic materials
• Course material for teaching shell buckling and viscoelastic composites
