2.8 DEFLECTION AND STRESS BY SUPERPOSITIONThe integration procedures discussed in the foregoing sections for determining the elastic deflection and stress of loaded plates are generally applicable to other cases of plates_ It is noted. however, that the solutions to numerous problems with simple loadings are already available_ For complex configurations of loads therefore, the method of superposition may be used to good advantage to simplify the analysis_ The method is illustrated for the case of the annular plate shown in Fig_ 2.6a.

uniformly distributed load Po at its surface. Shown in Fig. 2.6b is a circular plate under a uniform load Po. Figure 2.6c is an annular plate carrying along its inner edge a shear force per unit circumferential length Po b/2 and a radial bending moment, defined by Eq. (2.18), 1'0(3 + v)(a' - b')j16. The solutions for each of the latter two cases are known from Sees. 2.4 and 2.7. Hence, the deflection and stress at allY point of the plate in Fig. 2.6a can be found by the supe~position of the results at that point for the cases indicated in Fig. 2.6b and 2.6c (Prob. 2.14). Employing similar procedures, annular plates with various load and edge conditions may be treated. Table 2.3 provides only the final results for several examples. 7 .' In all cases v. is taken as v = 0.3. Design calculations are often facilitated by this type of compilation.

2.9 THE RITZ METHOD APPLIED TO CIRCULAR PLATES ON ELASTIC FOUNDATIONIn the problems discussed thus far, support was provided at the plate edges, and the plate was assumed to undergo no deflection at these supports. We now consider the case of a plate supportedcontinllollsly along its bottom surface by a foundation, itself assumed to experience elastic deformation. The foundation reaction forces will be taken to be linearly proportional to the plate deflection at

The above assumption with respect to the nature of the support not only leads to equations amenable to solution, but approximates closely many real situations.' Examples of this type of plate include concrete slabs, bridge decks. floor structures, and airport runways. We shall apply the Ritz method (Sec. 1.9) to treat the bending of a circular plate of radius a resting freely on an elastic foundation and subjected to a center load P. In this case of axis ymmetrica I bending. the expression for strain energy given by Eq. (P2.1l) reduces toU = nD1

2,10 ASYMMETRICAL BENDING OF CIRCULAR PLATESIn the foregoing sections, our concern was with the circular plates loaded axisymmetrically. We now turn to asymmetrical bending. For analysis of deflection and stress we must obtain appropriate solutions of the governing differential equation (2.5). Consider the case of a clamped circular plate of radius a and subjected to a linearly varying or hydrostatic loading represented byI' = Po

It is noted that the general method of obtaining the particular solution or Eq. (2.5), given in Prob. 2.20, follows a procedure identical with that described in Sec. 3.4 (Levy's solution for rectangular plates). The homogeneous solution IV" will be symmetrical in e; thusr~ in Eq. (2.7) vanishes. Owing to the nature of p and wp' we take only the terms of series (2.8) containing the function /0 and /,. Tbe deflection w" and its derivatives (or slope, moment, and shear) must be finite at tbe center (r = 0). It follows that Bo = Do = B, = D, = 0 in expressions for f~ andr,. Hence,(d)

The conditions (b) combined with Eqs. (e) and (d) yield two equations in the four unknown constants

2.11 DEFLECTION BY THE RECIPROCITY THEOREMPresented in this section is a practical approach for computation of the cenler deflection of a circular plate with symmetrical edge conditions under asymmetricalor nonuniform loading. The method utilizes the reciprocity theorem together with expressions for deflection ofaxisymmetricaUy bent plates. Consider, for example, the forces P, and P 2 acting at the center and at r (any 0) of a circular plate with simply supported edge (Fig. 2.8). According to the reciprocity theorem,' due to E. Betti and Lord Rayleigh, we may write:(a)

That is, the work done by P, owing to displacement w" due to 1'" is equal to the work done by P, owing to displacement IVI2 due to 1',. For the sake of simplicity let P, = 1, IV" = w" and IV" = "'(r). The deflection at the center IV, of a circular plate with a nonuniform loading p(r, IJ) but symmetric boundary conditions may therefore be determined through application of Eg. (a) as followsw, =

(2.34)

Clearly, ",(r) is the deflection at r due to a unit force at the center. In the cases of fixed and simply supported plates, Iv(r) is given by the expressions obtained by setting l' = 1 in Eqs. (2.22) and (2.25), respectively.

2.12 CIRCULAR PLATES OF VARIABLE THICKNESS UNDER NONUNIFORM LOADIn this section we discuss an approximate method for computing stresses and deflections in solid or anllllal circular plates of variable thickness, subjected to arbitrary lateral loading 9 Except for the requirement ofaxisymmetry, no special restrictions are placed on the manner in which either the thickness or the lateral loading vary with the radial coordinate. Several applications immediately come to mind: turbine disks, clutches, and pistons of reciprocating machinery. Consider a circular plate (Fig. 2.9a), and the division of the plate into small (finite) ring segments, as in Fig. 2.9b. Note that radial lengths of the segments need not be equal, but that the thickness is taken as constant for each. For each element defined as in Fig. 2.9b. the development of Sec. 23 applies. In order to accommodate the substitution of a series of constant-thickness elements for the original structure of varying thickness, it is necessary to match slopes and moments at the boundary between adjacent segments. The boundary conditions are handled in the usual manner. As the method treats the plate as a collection of constant-thickness disks, it is unnecessary to determine an analytical expression for thickness as a function of radius. Prior to illustrating the technique by means of a numerical example, the general calculation procedure is outlined. A knowledge of the derivation of the basic relationships [Sec. 2.12(b)) is not essential in applying the method.

The notation thus introduced is next applied in the determination of the following quantities. Bending moments The change in bending moment in proceeding from the inner edge to the outer edge of any element may be ascertained by rearranging Eqs. (2.44) as follows:

(2.37) Ll.M, = -aIM"~ - M,,) + PoQ At the inner edge, the moments are either given or assumed. The outer moments acting on an element are then (2.38) M,o = M" + Ll.Mo Similarly, the moment increments corresponding to the interface between adjacent elements arcLl.M, = 0(2.39)It now follows that the moments at the inner dege of the next element are found fromMrQ=Mrl+/lM,

When Egs. (2.37) to (2.40) are applied successively, beginning with the innermost element, the moments at any intermediate edge may be found in terms of the moment at the inner boundary of the disk.

In so doing, an equation similar to that of the three-moment equation of continuous beams is obtained.' It is noted that there are situations where the intermediate beams arc relatively flexible compared with the flexibility of the plate. The deflections and rotations of the plate arc not then taken as zero along the supports, but are functions of the hending and torsional stitTnesses of the supporting beams'" The design methods used in connect ion with continuous plates ut ilize the solutions derived in the foregoing sections and a number of approximations 1i

3.10 RECTANGUl.AR PLATES SUPPORTED BY INTER MEDIA TE COLUMNSIn this section we consider the bending of a thin continuous plate over many columns. To attain a simplified expression for the lateral deflection it is assumed that: the plate is suhjected to a uniform load Po. the column cross sections are so small that their reactions on the plate are regarded as point loads, the columns arc equally spaced in mutually perpendicular directions, and the dimensions of the plate are large as compared with the column spacing. The loregoing set of assumptions enables one to assume that the bending in all panels. away !i'om the boundary of the plate, is the same. We can therelore restrict our attention to the bending of one panel alone, and consider it as a unifomlly loaded rectangular plate (a x b) supported at the corners by the columns. The origin of coordinates is placecl at the center of a panel shown by the shaded area in Fig. 3.12a. Clearly, the maximum dellection occurs at the center of the panel. A solution can be obtained utilizing Levy's approach (Sec. 3.4). Accordingly, the deflection may be expressed as a combination of that associated with a strip with uniform load and fixed ends y = b/2 and that associated with a rectangular plate. That is,IV

For purposes of simplifying the analysis, the support forces are regarded as acting over short (infinitesimal) line segments, between x = a(2 - e and x = 1/2 + c or 2c (Fig. 3.12,,). The plate loading is transmitted to the columns by the vertical shear forces. From the conditions of symmetry of the bent panel we are led to conclude that the slope in the direction of the normal to the boundary and the vertical shear force vanish everywhere on the edges of the panel with the exception of the corner points.

Table 4.1 provides, for \. = 0.3, some final numerical results for the deflection and bending moments at the center of the plate."

4.5 STRESS CONCENTRATION AROUND HOLES IN A PLATEThe bending theory of plates applies only to plates of constant cross-sectional area. If the cross section changes gradually, reasonahly accurate results can also be expected. On the other hand, where abrupt variation in the cross section takes place, ordinary bending theory cannot predict the high values of stress which actually exist. The condition referred to occurs in plates with holes, notches, or fillets. In some instances, the stresses in these regions can be analyzed by applying special theories which take into account the shear deformation. The solutions more often involve considerable difficulty. However, it is more usual to rely upon experimental methods. The finite element approach (Sec. 5.7) is also very efficient for this purpose. The ratio k, of the actual maximum stress to the nominal stress in the minimum section is defined as the stress concentration factor. Hence,

(4.13)where 0'" is obtained by applying the familiar flexure formula for beams. The technical literature contains extensive information on stress concentration factors presented in the form of graphs and tables 7 14 It is convenient to examine the stress concentration at the edge of a small hole in a very large plate (Example 4.1). The results obtained for this case have been proven applicable to plates of any shape. Example 4.1 A large, thin plate containing a circular hole of radius a and width 2a, small as compared with the overall dimensions, is subjected to

5.4 PLATES WITH CURVED BOUNDARIESWe now treat the bending problems of simply supported plates having curved or irregular boundaries. Dividing a portion of such a boundary into a square mesh (Fig.5.6a) shows that the V 2 operator (Table 5.1) does not apply to point 0 because of the unequal lengths of arms 01. 02, 03, and 04. When at least one of the arms is not equal to 11, the operator pattern is referred to as an irregular star. There are available various approaches to such situations. The one that will be discussed assumes that it is required to develop an irregular star using the actual boundary points, rather than those falling" outside," associated with the continued regular mesh.

The substitute plate is shown ill Fig. 5.151>, For the sake of simplicity in calculations, we employ only one element per quarter-plate. A concentrated load Po(1 x 1)/4 = 1'0/4 is assigned to node I. The boundary constraints permit only a lateral displacement \VI at node 1 and a rotation Ox2 at node 2 (Fig. 5.15c). Nodal force and the displacement matrices are

When it is /lot possihle. however. to determine the constants of (6.10) experimentally, one resorts to approximations deri\'ed using analytical techniques. The lalter approaches consist of constructing an orthotropic plate with elastic properties equal to the average properties of components of the original plate. 21 Such a plate is lern1(~d an eql/ivale1ll or t.ransformed orthotropic plate. For example, in the case of a plate reinforced by ribs, the bending stiffness of the ribs and the plating are combined and taken to be uniform across the replacement model. Subsequently, the constants of (6.10) are approximated with Eqs. (6.11) giving the rigidities. For reference purposes, Table 6.1 presents the rigidities for some commonly encountered cases. ll . 22 It is noted that when E~ = E~ = E (and hence l'x = l'y = 1'), Eqs. (6.3) become

which is of the same form as Eq. (3,6). We are led to conclude that the center deflection of the reinforced concrete plate (a x h) having rigidities D." D,. is equal to that of an isotropic plate (lI, x 0,) of rigidity D. Having the expression for the deflection of the plate available, we can obtain the bending moments from Eqs.

Deflection of orthotropie rectangular plates is also determined by following the same basic procedures that were prescribed in Chaps. 3 and 5 for the Levy's solution and for the finite difference approach. Referring to Table 5.1 the pertinent coefficient pattern for finite difference expression of Eq. (6.9) of the orthotropic plate may readily be obtained.

Considerations of symmetry indicate that only one-quarter (shaded portion) of the plate need by analyzed (Fig. 6.2). The conditions that the slopes vanish at the edges are satisfied by numbering the nodes located outside the plate surface as shown in the figure (See Example 5.2).

7.3 COMPRESSION OF PLATES. BUCKLINGWhen a plate is compressed in its midplane, it becomes unstable and begins tohuckle at a certain critical value of the in-plane force. Buckling of plates is

qualitatively similar to column buckling.' However, a buckling analysis of the fonner case is not performed as readily as for the latter. Plate-buckling solutions using Eq. (7.3) usually involve considerable difficulty and subtlety,24 and the conditions that result in the lowest eigenvalue, or the actual buck lillY load, are not

PLATES Ui'I'd increases with increasing N. When N reaches the critical value given by Eq. (7.8), the denominator of Eq. (d) vanishes and w, grows without limit. This means that the plate buckles, as descrihed in the alternate manner in Sec. 7.3. To write the equation for a plate subjected to uniform tensile forces (Fig. 7.2), it is required only to change rite sign of N in the equations of the foregoing example. By following an approach similar to that described above, the deflection of an initially curved plate under simultaneous action of in-plane forces N" N)., and N", may also be readily obtained.

CHAPTER

TENMEMBRANE STRESSES IN SHELLS

10.1 GENERAL BEHAVIOR AND COMMON THEORIES OF SHELLSUntil now, our concern was with the analysis of thin flat plates. We now extend the discussion to curved sw:face stmcll/res termed thill shells. Examples of shells include pressure vessels, airplane wings, pipes. the exterior of rockets, missiles, automobile tires, incandescent lamps, caps, roof domes, factory or car sheds. and a variety of containers. Each of these has walls that arc curved. Inasmuch as a curved plate can be viewed as a portion of a shell, the general equations for thin shells are also applicable to curved plates. We shall limit our treatment (except Sees. 11.11 and 11.12) to shells of cqpstant .thickness.smallincomparison with the other two dimensions. As in the treatment of plates. the plane bisec'iIng the shell thickness is called the midsur/ace. To describe the shape of a shell, we need only know the geometry of the midsurface and the thickness of the shell at each point. Shells of technical significance are often defined as thil1 when the ratio of thickness t to radius curvature r is equal to or less than 1/20. For thin shells of practical importance. this ratio may be 1/1000 or smaller. The analysis of shell structures often embraces two distinct. commonly applied theories. The tirst of these, the membralletheol'Y, usually applies to a rather large part of the entire shell. A' membrane. either flat or curved~ is identified as a body of the same shape as a plate or shell, but incapable of conveymg moments or shear forces. In other words, a membrane is a two198

dimensional analog of a llcxible string with the exception that it can rcsi~l compression. Tile second, the bel/dillg theory or gel/era! theory. includes the etTects of bending. Thus it penn its the treatment of discontinuities in the stress distribution taking place in a limited region in the vicinity of a load or structural discontinuity. However, information relative to shell membrane stresses is usually of much greater practical signHicance than the knowledge oftbe bending stresses. The former are also far simpier to calculate. For thin shells having no abrupt changes in thickness, slope, or curvature. the meridional stresses are uniform throughout the wall thickness. The bending theory generally comprises a membrane solution. corrected in those areas in which discontinuity etTects are pronounced. The goal is thus not the improvement of the membrane solution, but rather the analysis of stresses and strains owing to the edge forces or concentrated loadings. which cannot be accomplished by the membrane theory only. It is important to note that membrane forces are independent of bending' and are completely defined by the conditions of static equilibrium. As no material properties are used in the derivation of these forces, the membrane theory applies to all shells made of any material (e.g., metaL fabric. reinforced concrete, sandwich shell, soap film, gridwork shell, and plywood). Various relationships developed for bending theory in Chaps. 11 to 13 arc, however. restricted to homogeneous, elastic, isotropic shells. The basic kinematic assumptions associated with the deformation of a thin shell as used in small-detlection analysis are as follows:

(1) The ratio of shell thickness to radius of curvature of the midsurface is small in compari.on with unity. (2) Deflections are small compared with shell thickness. (3) Plane sections through a shell taken normal to the midsurface. remain plane and become normal to the de{imlled midsurface after the shell is subjected to bending. This hypothesis implies that strains I" and ';'" are negligible. Nonnal strain, B" owing to transverse loading may also be omitted. (4) The z-directed normal stress. rI" is neglible.In this chapter, we consider only shells and loadings for which bending stresses are negligibly small. Applications are also presented of the governing equations of the membrane theory to specific practical cases.

10.2 LOAD RESISTANCE ACTION OF A SHELLThe common defonnational behavior of beams, thin plates, and thin shells is illustrated by the unified set of assumptions (Secs. 1.2 and 10.1). The loadcarrying mechanisms of these members do not resemble one another, however. That the Ioad,resisting action of a shell differs from that of other structural forms is underscored by noting the extraordinary capacity of an eggshell or an

(A hen's egg has a radius along the axis of revolution I' = 20 mm and a thickness t = 0.4 mm; thus tfr = 1/50.) The above behavior contrasts markedly with similar materials in plate or beam configurations under lateral loading. A shell, being curved, can develop in-plane forces (thrusts) to form the primary resistance action in addition to those forces and moments existing in a plate or beam. To describe the phenomenon, consider a part of a spherical shell of radius I' and thickness t, subjected to a uniform pressure of intensity p (Fig. 10.1). The condition that the sum of vertical forces be zero is expressed: 2m' o N sin ' The governing equations for these forces are derived fronl two equilibrium con ditions. Figures 10.30 and 1O.3h show two different views of the element .4BCD cut from the shell of Fig. 10.2. Prescribed by the condition of symmetry, the membrane forces and the loading display no variation with O. The externally applied forces per unit surface area are represented by the components I>,. and 1', in the y and z directions, respectively. Description of the z equilibrium requires that the z components of the loading as well as of the forces acting on each edge of the element be considered. The z-directed distributed load carried on the surface area of the element is

p,l'or, d8 dThe force acting on the top edge of the element equals N. 1'0 dll. Neglecting higher terms, the force on the bottom edge is also N. 1'0 dO. The z-directed component at each edge is then N~l'o dO sin (d!2). This force is nearly equal to N ~ /'0 dO d/2, yielding the following magnitude of the resultant for both edges:N~ro

Equations (10.1) arc sufficient to determine the so-called hoopji)l'c(' N'I and the meridional jc.Jrce N", from which the stresses arc readily determined. Ncgativl.> algebraic results indicate compressive stresses. Because of their freedom of motion in the: direction, for the axisymmetrically loaded shells of revolution considered, strains are produced such as to assure consistency with the field of stress and compatibility with one another." The action cited demonstrates the basic difference between the problem of a shell membrane and one of plane stress, In the latter case, a compatibility equation is required. However. it is clear that when a shell is subject to the actioll of concentrated surface loadings or is constrained at its boundaries, membrane theory cannot everywhere fulfill the conditions of deformation. The complete solution is obtained only by application of bending theory.

10-5 SOME TYPICAL CASES OF SHELLS OF REVOLUTIONThe membrane stresses in any particular axisymmetrically loaded shell in the form of a surface of revolution may be determined from the governing expressions of equilibrium developed in the preceding section. Treated in the following paragraphs are several common structural members. Spherical shell For spherical shells one can set the mean radius a = 1', = 1',. Then Eqs. (10.1) appear in the form

10.7 ASYMMETRICALLY LOADED SHELLS OF REVOLUTIONIn the bending of a shell of revolution under unsymmetrical loading, not only do normal forces NfjJ and No act on the sides of an element. but shearing forces NrN ancl No as well (Fig. 10.12). The moment equilibrium requircs that Ny. = N q." as is always the ('(Ise for a thil1 shell (Sec. 1I .2). The surface load, referred (0 the unit area of the midsurface, has components Px, p,., and p,. The x-directed forces are as follows. The force(a)

is owing to the variation of N". Horizontal components of the forces Nil . 1', d acting on the faces AB and CD of the element make an angle dO, and thus have the following resultant in the.\' direction:Nil, . r , d . cos . d(l

The difference of the shearing forces acting on faces AC and ED of the element is expressed(e)

Equations (10.26) permit determination of the membrane forces in a shell of revolution with nonsymmetrical loading that may, in general. vary with 0 and $. Such a case is discussed in the next section. We note that the governing equations of equilibrium for the spherical, conical, and cylindrical shells may readily be deduced from Eqs. (10.26) upon following a procedure identical with that described in Sec. 10.5.

10,8 SHELLS OF REVOLUTION UNDER WIND LOADINGIt is usual to represent dynamic loading such as wind and earthquake effects by statically equivalent or pseudoslatic loading adequate for purposes of design. The wind load on shells is composed of pressure on lhe wind side and suction of the leeward side. Only the load compollent acting perpendie,dar to the l1lidsw:face p, is considered important. Components p" and p,. are due to friction forces and are of negligible magnitude. Assuming for the sake of simplicity that the wind acts in the direction of the meridian plane 0 = 0, the components of wind pressure are as follows: px = 01',. = 0p, = p sin

Expressions (11.7) and (11.8) permit the energy to be evaluated readily for a number of commonly encountered shells of regular shape and regular loading. The strain energy plays an important role in treating the bending and buckling problems of shells (Chap. 13).

11.6 AXISYMMETRICALLY LOADED CIRCULAR CYLINDRICAL SHELLSPipes, tanks, boilers, and various other vessels under internal pressure exemplify the axisymmctrically loaded cylindrical shell. Owing to symmetry, an element cut from a cylinder of radius a will have acting on it only the stress resultants shown in Fig. 11.3: N", M ", N" and Qx' Furthermore, the circumferential force and moment, No and M", do not vary with O. The circumferential displacement l' thus vanishes and we need consider only the .\ and z displacements, /I and w. Subject to the foregoing simplifications, only three of the six equilibrium
