Abstract: Almost all of the available multiaxial high cycle fatigue (HCF) criteria are proposed based on definition of an equivalent stress expression that is a modified version of a static equivalent ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional theory of elasticity in curvilinear coordinates is employed to investigate the dynamic buckling of an imperfect orthotropic circular cylindrical shell under mechanical and ...

Abstract: Based on the concept of secant and tangent modulus, the nonlinear equilibrium and stability equations of thin cylindrical shells under axial compression, external pressure, or external fluid ...

Abstract: Using a high-order Reisner-Mindlin-type shear deformation theory in a power series form, the general large deformation form of the Green strain tensor for imperfect cylindrical shells is introduced. ...

Abstract: A technique is developed which can be used to distinguish the primary and secondary stresses in pressure vessels. The general definition of the two types of stresses stated by the ASME Code ...
