Buckling and Postbuckling of Beams, Plates, and Shells

Part of the book series: Structural Integrity ((STIN,volume 1))

Abstract

Conical shells under the mechanical and thermal loads are considered in this chapter. The basic governing equations of the shell including the nonlinear strain-displacement relations of Sanders assumption, the constitutive law, the nonlinear equilibrium equations, and the linear stability equations are derived employing the variational principle. The stability of the shell is considered and the buckling loads associated with the mechanical and thermal forces are derived. In case of thermal loading, the material temperature dependency is considered and the results are compared with the case where temperature dependency of the material properties are ignored. Effect of the piezo-control on stability of conical shells under thermal loading concludes the chapter.
