The most severe imperfection governs the buckling strength of pressurized multi-defect hemispherical shells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi, Fani Derveni

We perform a probabilistic investigation on the effect of systematically removing imperfections on the buckling behavior of pressurized thin, elastic, hemispherical shells containing a distribution of defects. We employ finite element simulations, which we ...

Comparing the Buckling Strength of Spherical Shells With Dimpled Versus Bumpy Defects

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Arefeh Abbasi, Fani Derveni

We investigate the effect of defect geometry in dictating the sensitivity of the critical buckling conditions of spherical shells under external pressure loading. Specifically, we perform a comparative study between shells containing dimpled (inward) versu ...

Probabilistic buckling of imperfect hemispherical shells containing a distribution of defects

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Fani Derveni

The buckling of spherical shells is plagued by a strong sensitivity to imperfections. Traditionally, imperfect shells tend to be characterized empirically by the knockdown factor, the ratio between the measured buckling strength and the corresponding class ...
