Collected Papers on Instability of Shell Structures - 1962

Shell structures are important components of airplanes, missiles, and space vehicles, but present capabilities for predicting the local and general instability of many such structures are inadequate. A large effort continues to be devoted to the stability analysis of shell structures, and considerable progress has been made. Results are slowly disseminated, however, and many engaged in research are not fully cognizant of the problems and practices of the vehicle designers who utilize research results. Therefore, an NASA SYMPOSIUM ON INSTABILITY OF SKELL STRUCTURES was organized by the Langley Research Center with sessions held there on October 24 and 25, 1962. Participants were limited to persons contributing papers and to certain officials of the U.S. Government. This symposium was planned to provide those persons concerned with shell instability at research laboratories, at educational institutions, and in the aerospace industry with a comprehensive view of the present state of the art, including the voids in present knowledge, important current problems, and the most fruitful directions for future theoretical and experimental research on the instability of all types of shell structures. Individuals actively engaged in research on shell stability or design were invited to contribute written papers for inclusion in a compilation to be distributed to the participants prior to the symposium. A few papers were selected by a steering committee for oral presentation at the symposium. Provision was made, also, for a discussion of all papers.

GENERAL INSTABILITY OF ORTHOGONALLY STIFFENED CYLINDRICAL SHELLS

Earlier research at the National Aeronautics Research Institute (N.L.R.), Amsterdam, which forms the basis of recent work is reviewed. This early work refers to 2 schemes: the orthotropic shell and, in view of buckling modes where the half wave length is of the order of the ring distance, the shell with continuously distributed stringers and discrete rings. Linear theory is considered to be adequate for these structures, where the imperfections are small in comparison to the height of the ring sections. Recent developments account for pressure difference in addition to axial compression, for the correct stiffness matrix of skin panels in the post-buckling stage and for stringer bending due to hoop stresses in the skin, which are of importance as has been shown by the investigation of the post-buckling behaviour. Numerical data for the stiffness matrix of skin panels have been established. Numerical evaluation of the stability equation has not been performed as yet.
