Abstract-The problem of a circular elastic inclusion in a cylindrical shell subjected to internal pressure or thermal loading is studied. The two shallow-shell equations governing the behaviour of a cylindrical shell are transformed into a single differential equation involving a curvature parameter and a complex potential function in a non-dimensional form. In the shell region, the solution is represented by Hankel functions of first kind, whereas in the inclusion region it is represented by Bessel functions of first kind. Boundary conditions at the shell-inclusion junction are expressed in a simple form involving in-plane strains and change in curvature. The effect of such inclusion parameters as extensional rigidity, bending rigidity, and thermal expansion coefficients on the stress concentrations has been determined. The results are presented in non-dimensional form for ready use.

INTRODUCTION Elastic

inclusions

are

introduced

in a cylindrical shell structure for accessibility and visibility, Such structures are widely used in such fields as aerospace, nuclear, chemical and marine engineering. The discontinuities thus introduced give rise to stress concentrations. Understanding of these stresses is necessary for an efficient and reliable design. Internal pressure and thermal loadings are two important types of loadings. The problem of a circular hole in a cylindrical shell was discussed by Lurie [ 11.His solution is valid for small curvature parameter /3[/3*= values of the (ff2~S~f)[I& I - Y2)p2, where a is the hole radius, R and t are shell radius and thickness, and Y is Poisson’s ratio]. Later Withum[2], Lekkerkerker[31 and Eringen ef al. 141 employed numerical procedures to extend this analysis for fi values up to 2 for torsion, tension, and internal pressure loadings. Van Dyke[5] extended the analysis up to J? = 4. Rao[7] used similar approach to solve the problem of edge reinforced cutouts in cylindrical shells. Van Dyke[6] inclusion in

problem describing the effect of discontinuity. Using the total solution, the stresses are obtained and plotted in non-dimensional form for ready use. The tem~ratures involved are assumed not to be high enough to cause any changes in material properties. 2.GOVERNING Mm L&l.EQUATION AND ITS SOLUTION Figure 1 shows a cylindrical shell with a circular inclusion. The equations governing the behaviour of the region of the shell influenced by the presence of the discontinuity are assumed to be the shallow, thin shell equations. The stress resultants and displacements in the shell tangential and normal to the middle surface are shown in Fig. 2.

a cylindrical shell for static Ioading. He splits the stresses and displacements into periodic components, and specifies the boundary conditions on inplane displacements u and u by integrating the strain displacement relations. This method is tedious and involved. Murthy[8] showed that the conditions used by Van Dyke are equivalent to specifying the boundary conditions on normal displacements, circumferential strain, and change in in-plane curvature. He used these conditions successfully to obtain the stresses around an elliptical inclusion in a cylindrical shell. The present work is concerned with the problem of a circular elastic inclusion in a cylindrical shell. Two types of loadings are considered; (a) internal pressure and (b) thermal loading represented by a linearly varying temperature across the thickness. The problem is solved using thin shallow shell theory together with simplified boundary conditions. The problem is split into a uniform state of stress problem for uncut shell and a residual

Once the complex stress functions are known, stresses and displacements can easily be computed everywhere in the shell or inclusion. The elastic inclusion is bonded to the shell in such a manner that its rotations and displacements match those of shells at the junction. Thus, for an eccentric inclusion, the following boundary conditions will be applicable[Fig. 31: NLr, = N:,

The boundary conditions are satisfied by a collocation procedure at discrete points on the boundary in the quadrant B = 0 to r/2. The points chosen are equidistant. At each point, there are eight boundary conditions to be satisfied, which give eight equations for the unknowns. The series is terminated at (2m - I) terms where m is the number of points, thus giving 8m equations for 8m unknowns. For a given /3 value, successively higher numbers of points are chosen and series terminated at higher numbers of terms accordingly, until values of stresses remain essentially the same.

Figure 4 shows the variation of maximum principal stress at B = 0, with extensional rigidity ratio CL<,and bending rigidity ratio CL,,for q/(2)r3S = 2.8. With increasing rigidity of the shell, the stresses in the shell are seen to be increasing. The bending rigidity, however, does not affect the stresses much, particularly when the exten-

sional rigidity ratio is around 1. With decreasing rigidity ratio, the stresses tend to the rigid inclusion value of 0.1788. Figure 5 shows the effect of hLL. and CL,,on the maximum principal stresses in the inclusion for t/‘(2) & = 2.8 and B = 0. Here the stresses decrease with increasing pC,i.e. with decreasing rigidity of inclusion the

stresses decrease. The bending rigidity again has negligible effect. particularly when pI is around 1. The effect of eccentricity is shown in Fig. 6. The maximum principal stress at the outer surface decreases slightly for small positive eccentricities. At the inner surface, however, it is lowest for slightly negative ec-

centricity. The crossover of maximum principal stress from outer to inner surface at about zero eccentricity suggests that symmetric inclusion is the best choice.

355

The effect of eccentricity has also been studied and it has been found that symmetric inclusion is the best choice. in the case of pressure loading, extensional rigidity ratio Jo*plays a predominant role and the influence of bending rigidity ratio &c is only marginal.

Thermaf Loading

The thermal loading is assumed to be given by uniform temperatures on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell and the inclusion, but it may vary linearly across the thickness. Such a loading can be treated as a superposition of (i) a uniform temperature and (ii) a linearly varying temperature with the middle surface experiencing no change in temperature. (i) Uniform temperature distribution. The variation of the maximum principal stress with p@and K,, the ratio of expansion coefficient of the inclusion (I= and the expansion coefficient of the shell arr is seen in Fig. 7. There are no stresses in the shell or inclusion when K__= 1.0, i.e. when the expansion coefficients are the same. For any other value of Km the stresses are higher. The variation with K, is linear. The principal stresses increase with increasing extensional rigidity ratio for K, < 1.0 and decrease with increasing pp for K, > 1.0. (ii) Linearly varying temperature. Figure 8 shows the variation of the maximum principal stress at the outer surface with fiC and Km. The minimum principal stress occurs in this case when Icz = pc ph. It is found that when such a relation is satisfied, the discontinuity moments at the junction vanish. Thus, minimum stress concentration, i.e. 1.0 is obtained. The bending rigidity however has a predominant effect in this case as can be seen by comparing Figs. 8 and 9. CONCLUSION

The effect of a circular elastic inclusion in a cylindrical shell on stress concentrations around the interface has been studied. Internal pressure and thermal loadings are considered. The results are found to tend to the plate solution as the curvature p~ameter becomes very small.
