Abstract

The paper suggests a formulation and method for a numerical solution of deformation and buckling of elastoplastic shells of revolution with elastic filler under quasi-static and dynamic loadings. The problem is solved in a two-dimensional plane or generalized axisymmetric formulation with torsion. The governing system of equations is written in a Cartesian or cylindrical coordinate system. Modeling of deformation of an elastic-plastic shell is carried out based on the hypotheses of the theory of shells of the Timoshenko type, taking into account geometric nonlinearities. Kinematic relations are written in velocities and formulated in the metric of the current state. The elastoplastic properties of the shell are described by the flow theory with nonlinear isotropic hardening. Filler modeling is based on continuum mechanics hypotheses. The filler material is assumed to be linearly elastic. The variational equations of motion of structural elements (both shells and filler) are reduced from the three-dimensional equation of the balance of virtual powers of the work of continuum mechanics taking into account the accepted hypotheses of the theory of shells or a flat deformed state or generalized axisymmetric deformation with torsion. The modeling of the contact interaction between the shell and the filler is based on the condition of nonpenetration along the normal and slippage along the tangential. The finite-difference method and an explicit time integration scheme of the cross type are used to solve the defining system of equations. Approbation of the technique was carried out on the problem of buckling of a steel cylindrical shell with an elastic filler under quasi-static and dynamic compression by an external pressure that linearly increases with time. The results of the numerical study are compared with calculations performed using two other approaches developed earlier by the authors. The first approach is based on full-scale modeling of the process of deformation of the shell and filler within the framework of continuum mechanics. In the second approach, a simplified formulation is used, in which the deformation of the shell is modeled according to the hypotheses of the theory of non-sloping shells of the Timoshenko type taking into account geometric nonlinearities, and the filler is modeled according to the Winkler foundation hypothesis. The developed approaches make it possible to model the nonlinear subcritical deformation of shells of revolution with an elastic filler, to determine the ultimate (critical) loads in a wide range of loading rates taking into account geometric shape imperfections, to study buckling in axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric shapes under dynamic and quasi-static combined loadings in plane and axisymmetric deformations.
