Abstract

The elastoplastic state of thin spherical shells with an elliptic hole is analyzed considering that deflections are finite. The shells are made of an isotropic homogeneous material and subjected to internal pressure of given intensity. Problems are formulated and a numerical method for their solution with regard for physical and geometrical nonlinearities is proposed. The distribution of stresses (strains or displacements) along the hole boundary and in the zone of their concentration is studied. The results obtained are compared with the solutions of problems where only physical nonlinearity (plastic deformations) or geometrical nonlinearity (finite deflections) is taken into account and with the numerical solution of the linearly elastic problem. The stress—strain state in the neighborhood of an elliptic hole in a shell is analyzed with allowance for nonlinear factors
