<p>Viscoelastic spherical shells exhibit a wide range of time/rate-dependent buckling behaviors when subjected to pressure. For certain loadings, buckling can even occur after a significant time delay, termed creep buckling. To gain a thorough understanding of the nonlinear time-dependent buckling behavior of viscoelastic spherical shells, this work develops an analytical model employing the small-strain, moderate-rotation shell theory combined with a linearly viscoelastic material law. Numerical results are presented for axisymmetric spherical shells with geometric imperfections for two types of loading: a prescribed rate of volume change and a prescribed pressure that remains constant after it is applied. The first type reveals the rate-dependent behavior of viscoelastic buckling while the constant pressure loading is used to quantify creep buckling phenomena. The results show that viscoelasticity and loading rates play important roles in the load-carrying behavior of these shells, and the results for the constant pressure loading reveal an unexpected and important connection between the short-time elastic buckling limit and the long-time creep buckling limit. An imperfection sensitivity map is constructed for the constant pressure loading showing three regimes with qualitatively different behaviors: near-<span class="fontstyle01">instantaneous buckling, creep buckling and no buckling.</span></p>

We consider a thin body and idealize it by a representative orientable surface. In this geometric theory, bulk growth is modeled using an evolving referential configuration for the shell (material manifold). We consider the evolution of both the first and second fundamental forms in the material manifold by considering them as dynamical variables in the variational problem. Their evolution can be used to model both surface growth and remodeling (the evolution of spontaneous curvatures). We use a Lagrangian field theory to derive the governing equations of motion. In the case where growth can be modeled by a Rayleigh potential, we also find the governing equations for growth in the form of kinetic equations coupling the evolution of the first and the second fundamental forms with the state of stress of the shell. As examples, we first look at the stress-free growth fields of a planar sheet and find non-trivial configurations. We also study a morphoelastic infinitely long circular cylindrical shell subject to time-dependent internal pressure, and a morphoelastic planar circular shell. We obtained numerically the evolution of growth and compute the induced residual stresses.</p>

This treatise provides a broad overview of the definitions of<br />
fundamental quantities and methods of analysis for the use of solid materials<br />
in structural components. The presentation is limited to the linear elastic<br />
range of material behavior where there is a one to one relationship between<br />
load and displacement. <strong> </strong>Fundamental<br />
methods of analysis and typical results for structures made of elastic solid materials<br />
subjected to axial, bending, torsion, thermal, and internal pressure loading;<br />
basics concepts of stability, plates, shells, finite element method, and mechanics<br />
of fibrous composite materials.
</p>
<p>
The treatise is intended as an introduction for specialist in fields<br />
such as aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, and<br />
civil engineering. It is also intended<br />
to serve as an overview, and possibly the only formal study of the subject for<br />
specialists in other fields of engineering and science. For a course of study<br />
at the college or university level, it is expected that it would, at most, be<br />
equivalent to a one hour semester course. Finally, it is intended as an<br />
introductory overview for those in secondary science education and those<br />
teaching at the secondary level, as well as an introductory course for those<br />
studying in the arts and sciences. As the emphasis on STEM (Science,<br />
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in the United States has increased<br />
in recent years, this treatise is a contribution to that effort. The treatise<br />
is written from the perspective of an engineer, one with more than forty years<br />
of experience as an engineering professor.

<strong>Title</strong>: Comparison of Ansys elements Shell181 and Solsh190
</p>
<p>
<strong>Abstract:</strong>
</p>
<p>
Plate and shell elements are indispensable for the study of the mechanics of complex structures. Two classes of shell elements are commonly used in finite element analyses of thin structures, classical two-dimensional lements and three-dimensional continuum elements. Users of commercial finite element software, such as ANSYSTM , are often unsure of the relative strengths and weaknesses of these elements and of the appropriate use of these elements. This report provides data that can be used as a basis for the selection of shell elements for engineering analysis and design. The displacements and stresses predicted by two ANSYSTM shell elements, SHELL181 and SOLSH190, are compared with exact solutions and full three-dimensional simulations for several geometries and boundary conditions. We conclude that classical shell, SHELL181, elements and solid shell, SOLSH190, elements behave in a similar, though not identical, manner for many situations. For instance, SHELL181 elements generate poor solutions compared to SOLSH190 elements for sandwich plates with isotropic layers and small core to facesheet stiffness ratios. However, for low stiffness cores of moderately high shear stiffness, both SHELL181 and SOLSH190 elements perform adequately. We also note that plates modeled with a single layer of SOLSH190 elements are extremely stiff in bending and we recommend at least three elements through the plate thickness for reasonable results. Also, boundary conditions have to be applied to all the nodes of SOLSH190 elements to achieve the correct mid-surface deformation behavior. The solid shell element provided by ANSYSTM can be used to replace standard shell elements provided care is taken during its use.
