Efeito da geometria e do material nas vibrações não lineares de cascas cilíndricas ortotrópicas

Resumo

Circular cylindrical shells are widely used structures in several engineering areas and have great capacity to withstand both axial and lateral loads. However, they may present a complex dynamic behavior. Thus, a detailed study of the behavior of cylindrical shells subjected to different loading and support conditions as well as the influence of material characteristics and geometric relations evaluation is justified. In this work the influence of geometry and orthotropy on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of orthotropic simply supported cylindrical shells subjected to both axial and lateral time depending loads is studied. To model the shell, the Donnell nonlinear shallow shell theory, neglecting the effects of shear deformations, is used. It is considered the shell in three different situations: empty, filled with static fluid and subjected to internal flow of incompressible and non-viscous fluid, whose motion is isentropic and irrotational. The radial displacements are described as an expansion with eight degrees of freedom which satisfies the boundary conditions. The Galerkin method is applied to obtain a set of nonlinear equations of motion, which are in turn solved by the Runge-Kutta method. A detailed analysis is performed to study the influence of material orthotropy and geometric relations such as length-radio (L/R) and radio-thickness (R/h) on the natural frequencies, critical loads, critical flow velocities, post-critical paths, frequency-amplitude relations, instability boundaries, bifurcation diagrams and resonance curves. Obtained results display the strong influence of both material orthotropy and geometric relations on the linear and nonlinear behavior of the shells and, depending on these characteristics, the shell can display softening or hardening behavior.
