Graphical Analysis for Maximum Stresses in Sandwich Cylinders under External Uniform Pressure

摘要

A simplified solution is presented for computing the axial and transverse forces in sandwich cylinders with annular webs loaded under external uniform pressure. A series of graphs is shown for the determination of Lame deflection coefficients and transcendental stress functions. With these forces and stress functions, a procedure is developed for computing maximum stresses in both outside and inside shells of the sandwich cylinders. Stresses can be computed more rapidly by this procedure than by a more exact solution. (Author)
