Vibration and Elastic Instability of Thin-Walled Domes under Uniform External Pressure

C. T. F. Ross Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, U.K.

ABSTRACT Two thin-walled varying meridional curvature axisymmetric shell elements are presented for the vibration and elastic instability of thin-walled hemiellipsoidal domes under uniform external pressure. The theoretical analysis is an extension of previous work carried out by the author, where for the two elements presented in the present report, a cubic and a quadratic variation was assumed for the meridional and the circumferential displacements along the meridian of these elements. In the previous study, only linear variations were assumed for the meridional and circumferential displacements along the meridian of these elements. Comparisons were made between experiment and theory for both buckling and vibration of hemi-ellipsoidal shell domes, which varied from very flat oblate vessels to very long prolate vessels. In general, agreement between experiment and theory was good for the hemi-spherical dome and the prolate vessels, but not very good for the flat oblate vessels. Additionally, the two new elements gave poorer results than the original simpler element for the cantilever mode of vibration, but better results for the lobar modes of vibration.

INTRODUCTION Thin-walled domes are usually used to block off the ends o f submarine pressure hulls; 1' 2 these d o m e ends can vary in shape from flat oblate forms to long prolate forms. 159

Under uniform external pressure, flat oblate domes can buckle axisymmetrically, with their noses denting inwards, as shown in Fig. 1. 3,4 In the cases of hemi-spherical domes and long prolate domes, the mode of buckling due to uniform external pressure, is of lobar form, as shown in Figs 2 and 3. Similarly, under periodic exciting forces, these vessels vibrate in numerous modes, but the modes of interest in the present study are those similar to the static buckling modes; that is, the vibration mode of interest for fiat oblate domes, is similar to the axisymmetric mode of buckling shown in Fig. 4, and for hemi-spherical domes and prolate hemi-ellipsoidal domes, the modes of interest, are similar to the lobar buckling modes of Fig. 5, where n = the total number of circumferential waves in the flank of the vessel; m = the number of half-waves in the meridional direction. In 1981, Ross & Mackney 3 presented a constant meridional curvature element (CMC), for the buckling of hemi-ellipsoidal domes under uniform external pressure, and in 1983, Ross & Johns 5 used this element to study the vibration of the same vessels under water. In 1990, Ross 4 presented a varying meridional curvature element (VMC), to extend this study; this element is shown in Fig. 6. Ross assumed the following displacement functions for the three local displacement, namely u, v and w.

One deficiency o f the V M C element was that it was assumed that u and v varied linearly in the meridional direction. Rajagopalan 1° pointed out this deficiency, and found its inclusion for circular cylinders was significant. However, in Rajagopalan's Chapter 6, not all the continuity requirements o f his polynomial were satisfied. Hence, the present study is reported.

THEORETICAL ANALYSIS Two elements are presented, one which assumes a cubic variation for u, v and w, along the meridian, (the CCC element), and one which assumes a quadratic variation for u and v, and a cubic variation for w, along the meridian, (the QQC element). The derivation of these elements is now described. The CCC element For this element, the displacement functions for u, v and w were all assumed to be o f cubic form. N o w the displacement function for w is of the Hermitian form shown by eqn (1), but the displacement functions for u and v will be obtained, as follows. For the node element o f Fig. 7, the assumed displacement functions for u and v are given by the following cubic forms: u = a + b ( + c~2 + d( 3 v = e +f(

+ g(2 + h(3.

To determine the shape functions for u and v, consider the b o u n d a r y conditions for u, as follows: at ~ = - 1 , u = ul .'. Ul = at~=-l,u=u3 at

The QQC element F o r this element, the displacement functions for u and v were assumed to be in quadratic form along the meridian o f the element, as shown in Fig. 8. The positions of the nodal displacements for u and v are shown in Fig. 8. The assumed boundary conditions were at ( = - 1 , u

Substitution of the above displacement functions, together with their derivatives into eqns (2), (9) and (12), will lead to the stiffness, geometrical and mass matrices for the QQC element. Here, again, Guyana reduction was used to eliminate the u3 and v3 displacements, so that the 10 x 10 matrices became of order 8 x 8. Hence it was a simple matter to modify the computer program for the CCC element to incorporate the QQC element.

C O M P U T A T I O N A L ANALYSIS In this section comparisons will be made for both buckling and vibration of the experimental results of 10 hemi-ellipsoidal domes (see Fig. 9), with the theoretical predictions of three varying meridional curvature elements. The models were made in solid urethane plastic (SUP), where the SUP liquid was poured between machined male and female aluminium alloy moulds and then thermoset. The models had an internal base diameter of 0.2m and a wall thickness of 0.002m. SUP was found to have the following properties: Young's modulus -- 2.89 x 109 N/m2; Poisson's ratio -- 0.3 assumed; density = 1230 kg/m 3.

Instability The three elements of Ross, namely the VMC element (linear-linear cubic), 4 the CCC element (all cubic) and the QQC element (quadraticquadratic-cubic), are compared with the experimentally obtained buckling pressures for the 10 hemi-ellipsoidal domes of Ross and Mackney 3 in Table 3, where AR

F r o m Table 3 it can be seen that the CCC and the QQC elements give better results than the V M C element for all hemi-eUipsoidal domes, except for the oblate dome of aspect ratio 0.7. However, it must be emphasised that this dome is very prone to even the slightest variations in meridional

Most of the domes, especially the oblate domes of aspect ratio 0.44 and 0.25m seemed to have suffered from elastic knockdown, due to slight geometrical imperfections that occurred during manufacture.

Vibrations Comparisons are made in Tables 4 and 5 with the experimentally obtained results o f Ross and Johns, 5 and the three solutions o f Ross, for the 10 hemi-ellipsoidal domes described earlier. F r o m Table 4, it can be seen that the CCC and QQC elements give worse results than the simpler V M C element for the domes o f aspect ratio 0.7 and 0.44, but better results for the dome of aspect ratio 0.25. This may be due to the fact that all three elements adopted four degrees of freedom, namely, u, v, w and 0, but that for these oblate domes, v was zero. F r o m Table 5, it can be seen that the CCC and the QQC elements gave better results than the V M C elements for all modes, except for n = 1. It may be that, for the n -- 1 mode, v was of a much simpler form than assumed. The argument that can be held therefore, is that for n = 0 and n = 1, where v was either zero or of simple form, the assumption that v varied either quadratically or cubically was less justified than assuming that v varied linearly.

CONCLUSIONS The results have shown that by assuming quadratic and cubic variations with respect to the meridian o f hemi-ellipsoidal d o m e shells, for the meridional and circumferential displacements, good results are obtained for the majority of the vessels. The results have also shown that the m o r e sophisticated elements, the CCC element and the QQC element, give worse results than the simpler V M C element, when the circumferential displacement is zero, as in the cases when n = 0 and n = 1. The experimental results have shown that for the buckling o f thinwalled hemi-ellipsoidal domes under uniform external pressure, there was
