This paper is presented for the analysis results of the bending problems of the anisotropic cylindrical shells. In the numerical analysis of various mechanical problems involving complex partial differential equations, Finite element method is used to analyze the governing equations of anisotropic cylindrical shells. Both thin shell theory and thick shell theory are used as the basic governing equations of bending problems in the anisotropic cylindrical shells. The analysis results are compared between the anisotropic thick cylindrical shells and the anisotropic thin cylindrical shells. The results of this study will be contribute to analyze the bending behavior of anisotropic cylindrical shells.

두꺼운 원통형 쉘은 공학적인 문제에서 많이 사용된다. 쉘 내부에 임피던스가 큰 유체와 구조물이 있을 때 쉘을 포함한 진동해석은 이론적인 해석이 매우 어렵다. 쉘 내부에 있는 유체의 임피던스가 공기에 비하여 매우 클 경우 쉘과 유체, 내부의 구조물과 유체사이의 구조물-유체 상호작용(structure-fluid interaction)이 고려되어야 한다. 얇은 원통형 쉘에 대해서는 상용 유한요소 코드를 이용하여 구조물-유체 상호작용을 고려한 진동해석이 많이 수행되었으나 축대칭 두꺼운 원통형 쉘에 대해서는 연구가 수행되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 NASTRAN, ANSYS 같은 상용 유한요소 코드에서 지원되지 않는 축대칭 두꺼운 원통형 쉘 내부에 유체와 강체요소가 있을 경우 이에 대한 유한요소 코드를 개발하고, 구조물-유체 상호작용을 고려하여 진동해석을 하였다.

In this paper, stability analysis is carried out for the out of plane behaviors under compressive loads to the direction of the generator in anisotropic cylindrical shells. It is not easy to obtain the analytic solutions about the stability analysis of anisotropic cylindrical shells consisted of composite materials. For solving this problems, this paper used the finite difference method which is one of the numerical methods. Geometrical property of cylindrical shells transforms the compressive loads into the inplane behaviors. This paper studied the change of stiffness in the direction of the circumferential and stability of shells according to change of fiber angle, curvature, subtended angle and aspect ratio. From result of this study, anisotropic cylindrical shells under compressive loads to the direction of the generator vary greatly with respect to the change of the circumferential stiffness. Therefore, it will be more safe to strengthen the circumferential stiffness of anisotropic cylindrical shells under compressive loads.

The shell structures with composite materials have the advantages in strength, corrosion resistance, and weight reduction. The objective of this study is to analyze anisotropic composite circular cylindrical shells with shear deformation theory. In applying numerical methods to solve differential equations of anisotropic shells, this paper use finite difference method. The accuracy of the numerical method can be improved by taking higher order of interval ${\Delta}$ to reduce error. This study compares the results of finite difference method with the results of ANSYS based on finite element method. Several numerical examples show the advantages of the stiffness increasement when the composite materials aroused. Therefore, it is expected that results of this study give various guides for change of the subtended angles, load cases, boundary conditions, and side-to-thickness ratio.

In this study, the effects of ring stiffeners for buckling of cylindrical shells with composite materials were analyzed. The finite element method was used: 3-D beam elements were used for stiffeners and flat shell elements were used for cylindrical shells and were improved by introducing a substitute shear strain. The ring stiffeners were of the transverse rib type. The buckling behaviors of the cylindrical shells were analyzed based on various parameters, such as locations and sizes of stiffeners, diameter/length ratios and boundary conditions of shells, and fiber-reinforced angles. Effective reinforcement was examined by understanding the exact behaviors for buckling. The results of the analysis may serve as references for designs and future investigations.

Nonlinear behavior and large deformation cannot be analyzed using techniques based on linear theory. Nonetheless, they are emerging as gradually huge and complex structures. In addition, the optimum design of structure is necessary in the development of high-performance computation and numerical methods. as well as stricter design-criterion. Therefore, the structural problems in engineering that are limited to the linear region must be extended to the nonlinear region. Likewise, structural behavior must be accurately analyzed. In turn, this requires considering the expected problems beforehand. Only then can an efficient, economical, and optimized structure be designed. This paper presents the solution of the geometrical nonlinear problem of anisotropic cylindrical shell. The characteristics of the geometrical nonlinear behavior of anisotropic circular cylindrical shells may vary according to several causes. e.g., change of fibers, curvature in the circumferential direction, subtended angle, aspect, etc. Parametric studies were conducted to determine the effect of factors on the large deflection behavior of laminated shells, with interesting observations.

For the perforated cylindrical shell submerged in fluid, it is almost impossible to develop a finite element model due to the necessity of the fine meshing of the shell and the fluid at the same time. This necessitates the use of solid shell with equivalent material properties. Unfortunately the effective elastic constants are not found in any references even though the ASME code is suggesting those for perforated plate. Therefore in this study the equivalent material properties of perforated shell are suggested by performing several finite element analyses with respect to the ligament efficiencies.

The objective of this study is to identify the advantages of composite materials and to investigate the behavior of the anisotropic symmetric laminated cylindrical shell structures. To analyze the anisotropic symmetric laminated cylindrical shell structures, the finite difference technique. that consists of forward, central and backward difference, is introduced. In this study, the degree of freedom consists of three displacements and, especially, two moments except twisting moment. It has the advantage of improving the accuracy for calculating the moments. All four edges are assumed to be simply supported. From the numerical results, it is proved that the finite difference technique can be used efficiently to analyze the anisotropic symmetric laminated cylindrical shells and gives a guide in deciding how to make use of the fiber angle the anisotropic symmetric laminated cylindrical shells.

The optimum design of the cylindrical shell under external pressure loading is considered. The design variable is a skin thickness of the unstiffened parallel middle body shell. Overall buckling strength and direct stress and displacements constraints are considered in the design problem The optimum design is achieved with one of the standard nonlinear constrained optimization technique.
