The effect of warhead shell on shaped charge jet velocity has been analyzed qualitatively in this paper. The numerical simulation results are creditable and in agreement well with that of the corresponding experiment. The research results show that the jet velocity of explosive with metal shell is higher than that without shell; when the shell thickness increases, jet' s head speed also increases; when the shell thickness increased to certain value, the jet velocity will not change any longer; with the same shell thickness, the bigger material density the higher jet's head velocity.展开更多

The element has six degrees of freedom at each comer node, five of which are the essential external degrees of freedom and the additional sixth is associated with the in-plane shell rotation. The displacement fields of the element satisfy the exact requirement of rigid body modes of motion. The element is based on independent strain assumption insofar as it is allowed by the compatibility equations. The element developed herein is first validated by applying it to the analysis of a benchmark problem involving a standard spherical shell with simply supported edges. The results of the analysis showed that reasonably accurate results were obtained even when modeling the shells using fewer elements compared to other shell element types. The element is then used in a finite element model to analyze polygon shaped spherical roof structures. The distribution of the various components of deflection and stress is obtained. Furthermore, the effect of introducing circular arched beams as stiffeners spanning the two diagonally opposite end comers is investigated. It is found that the stiffeners reduced the deflections and the stresses in the roof structure by considerable value.展开更多

Mode shapes are drawn to explain the circumferential mode number n and axial mode number m, and the natural frequencies are cal-culated numerically and compared with those of FEM (finite element method) to confirm the reliability of the analytical solution. The effects of relevant parameters on natural frequencies are discussed thoroughly. It is shown that for long thin shells the method is simple, accurate and effective.展开更多

For shells, the mechanical characteristics in the two perpendicular directions are continuous and related to each other, and any change in thickness will result in change in stiffness in any direction. In latticed shells, members are discrete and stiffnesses in two mutually perpendicular directions are discontinuous and independent of each other. Therefore, sensitivity of geometrical imperfection for buckling of latticed shells should be different from that of continuum shells. The author proposes a shape optimization method for maximum buckling load of a latticed shell. A single layer latticed dome is taken as a numerical example, and the results show that the buckling load parameter for full area loading case increases 32.75% compared to that of its initial shape. Furthermore, the numerical example demonstrates that an optimum latticed shell with maximum buckling load, unlike an optimum continuum shell, may not be sensitive to its geometrical imperfection.展开更多
