Torsion of Elliptical Composite Cylindrical Shells
The response of elliptical composite cylindrical shells under torsion is studied. The torsional condition is developed by rotating one end of the cylinder relative to the other. Prebuckling, buckling, and postbuckling responses are examined, and material failure is considered. Four elliptical cross …

Response and Failure of Internally Pressurized Elliptical Composite Cylinders
… to study the response of internally pressurized elliptical composite cylinders with clamped boundaries. Using a geometrically linear analysis and the solution scheme, the response of a quasi-isotropic elliptical cylinder is compared with the response of a quasi-isotropic circular cylinder in …

The capillary interaction between objects at liquid interfaces
… First a system is considered where circular cylinders are immersed in a liquid. The meniscus shape is determined, and the force of interaction between a pair of cylinders is calculated as a function of the distance between them. The results are compared with previously published asymptotic …

Measuring Ground Movement by Precise Survey
… expressed in the form of 95 percent error elliptical cylinders were in the order of 7 mm horizontally and 2 mm vertically at distances of 150 metres. This accuracy was more than adequate considering the relatively large amount of slide movement. The techniques and procedures set forth in …

Failure Initiation and Progression in Internally Pressurized Non-Circular Composite Cylinders
… in internally pressurized non-circular composite cylinders. This type of approach accounts for the localized loss of stiffness when material failure occurs at some location in a structure by degrading the local material elastic properties by a certain factor. The manner in which this degradation …

An analog/hybrid computer solution of electromagnetic scattering problems
… itself. The scatterers studied included circular cylinders, elliptical cylinders, and an annulus, and both perfect conductors and perfect dielectrics were considered. Also, scattering from an irregular object was studied to show the versatility of the method.

Improvement of the axial buckling capability of elliptical cylindrical shells
… By using the maximum radius of curvature of an elliptical cross section in this formulation, the analysis is used to demonstrate the detrimental effects of an elliptical cross section on axial buckling capacity when compared to a circular cross section with the same circumference. Using the …

An analytical and experimental investigation of the response of elliptical composite cylinders
… investigation of the response of composite cylinders of elliptical cross-section to axial compression and internal pressure loadings is discussed. Nine eight-ply graphite-epoxy elliptical cylinders, three layups for each of three cross sectional aspect ratios, are specifically examined. The …
