Summary

Flexible shells, designed to sustain elastic displacements, have a “semimembrane” type of deformation, described by simplified equations. In what follows, flexible shell equations are derived and used to analyse bending of curved tubes and buckling of tubes and toroidal shells under external pressure, as interdependent problems. Design formulas and curves are presented.

Übersicht

Flexible Schalen, die elastischen Verformungen ausgesetzt sind, genügen einem „Semi-Membranspannungszustand”. Vereinfachte Gleichungen für diesen Zustand werden hergeleitet. Damit werden die Probleme des Beulens von Torusschalen unter Außendruck, ein Spezialfall des allgemeineren Problems der Biegung und der Stabilität von Rohren, untersucht. Spannungen, Deformationen und kritischer Außendruck werden in Abhängigkeit von der Rohrkrümmung und von dem Abstand zwischen Querrippen oder Flanschen bestimmt.
