Bending Analysis of Laminated Composite and Sandwich Cylindrical Shells Using Analytical Method and Ansys Calculations

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

The bending analysis of isotropic, laminated composite and cylindrical sandwich shells was carried out using a higher order shear deformation theory which incorporates undetermined integral in the displacement field. The model proposed involves only four variables. Moreover, unlike the conventional FSDTs, the shear correction factor is not necessary. The Hamilton’s principle and the Navier’s method are employed to determine and solve the equations of motion. The present analytical model was compared with other higher-order theories in the literature. In addition, finite element analysis methods were designed to calculate displacements and stresses of shells. Shells are subjected to uniform loads. Results are given for shallow and deep shells and thick to thin. According to the analysis, kinematics, based on the indeterminate integral component, are very effective and enable researchers to investigate laminated plates and shells more accurately than traditional models.
