STRESS CONCENTRATION IN A TRANSVERSELY ISOTROPIC SPHERICAL SHELL WITH TWO CIRCULAR RIGID INCLUSIONS

摘要

The refined Timoshenko-type theory that takes into account the transverse shear strains is used to find an analytic solution for the stress state of transversely isotropic shallow spherical shell with two circular rigid inclusions. The case of a shell with closely spaced rigid inclusions of unequal radii under internal pressure is analyzed numerically. The stresses in the shell increase considerably with decrease in the distance between the inclusions and increase in the transverse shear parameter
