Download or read book A Review of the Theory and Methods for Determining Dynamic Pulse Buckling of Cylindrical Shells written by Defence Research Establishment Atlantic. This book was released on 1989. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of theoretical developments in predicting the buckling response of cylinders subject to impulsive loads is presented. Most of this theory deals with axisymmetric, radial impulses on cylinders. The development of solutions for the critical modes and loading magnitudes which produce excessive growth of displacements are reviewed. Existing theories cover the specific cases of either entirely elastic or entirely plastic material behaviour for infinite length and short cylindrical shells. The resultant theories are applied to various shell geometries to investigate influential parameters. A review of numerical finite element and finite difference studies which investigate dynamic pulse buckling is also given. The requirements to examine dynamic buckling of more complex structures such as ring stiffened cylinders are discussed. Improvement in design to resist shock loads from hostile weapons or operational conditions has been the goal of considering dynamic buckling in the design of military structures such as missiles and rockets. This study presents a review of theoretical developments in dynamic pulse buckling to delineate the physical concepts of the process. This review serves as a basis for further work in developing an understanding of dynamic buckling in the context of submarine pressure hull response to underwater shock loading. (kt).
