ANALYTICAL AND NUMERICAL STRESS ANALYSIS OF THICK CYLINDER SUBJECTED TO INTERNAL PRESSURE
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present work is an attempt to investigate the vibrations characteristics and effect of static stresses and deformation in partially pressurized thick cylindrical shells, such as the gun barrels. The method used cover analytical investigation developed to determine static stresses and deformation along the thick cylindrical shell using LAME'S equation. The numerical investigation is developed
using the finite element method with axisymmetric element (Plane 42) four nodes to determine the static response and solid element (Solid 45) eight nodes for vibration analysis by using the ANSYS package. The obtained results show a good agreement with the other investigators. It's found that the natural frequency of the selected models almost equal (150. Hz) and these results indicate that the
frequency of powder gasses pressure more than (150 Hz) to be far away from resonance phenomena.
