Сalculation of circular cylindrical shell by bending theory taking into account creep
Incoming article date: 05.06.2017The general equations of the moment theory of a circular cylindrical shell with creep are considered: static, geometric and physical. We solve the problem of determining the stress-strain state of a shell rigidly clamped in the base when an internal hydrostatic pressure acts on it. The problem has reduced to a linear nonhomogeneous differential equation of the fourth order with respect to deflection. The solution was performed numerically by the finite difference method in the Matlab software package. As a law of connection between creep strains and stresses, the generalized nonlinear Maxwell-Gurevich equation was used. To determine the creep strains, a linear approximation of the first time derivative was used. The shell was made from secondary PVC, and as a result, it was found that in the process of creep in the shell, the circumferential stresses increase by 15%.
