The displacements are expanded into power series of the thickness coordinate. Only the first four and the first three terms are used for the displacements parallel and normal to the middle surface respectively. The normal extruding and transverse shear stresses are assumed to be cubic polynomials and to satisfy the boundary stress conditions on the outer and inner surfaces of the shell. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by means of variational principle. As an example, a thick-walled cylindrical shell is disscussed with the theory proposed. Furthermore, a photoelastic experiment has been carried out, and the results are in fair agreement with the computations.展开更多

The pressure vessel is subject to axisymmetric mechanical and thermal loadings within a uniform magnetic field. The material properties of the FGM are considered as the power-law distribution along the thickness. Navier’s equation, which is a second-order ordinary differential equation, is derived from the mechanical equilibrium equation with the consideration of the thermal stresses and the Lorentz force resulting from the magnetic field. The distributions of the displacement, strains, and stresses are determined by the exact solution to Navier’s equation. Numerical results clarify the influence of the thermal loading, magnetic field, non-homogeneity constant, internal pressure, and angular velocity on the magneto-thermo-elastic response of the functionally graded spherical vessel. It is observed that these parameters have remarkable effects on the distributions of radial displacement, radial and circumferential strains, and radial and circumferential stresses.展开更多

In this paper, a theoretical analysis for producing a uniform radial velocity distribution within a vessel is presented and a design method is established for a specially designed conical chock (SDCC). A differential equation for determining the contour size of SDCC is derived. Experimental verification is performed in a test model of CVAPB. The results show that the axial distribution of differential pressures across the packed-bed become uniform for CVAPB with SDCC and the uniformity of radial velocity is improved.展开更多

A differential equation for determining the contour size of SDCC is derived. Experimental verification is performed in a test model of CVAPB. The results show that the axial distribution of differential pressures across the packed-bed become uniform for CVAPB with SDCC and the uniformity of radial velocity is improved.
