Deformation of Cylindrical Shell Made of 9X2 Steel Under Complex Loading

Abstract

The development of the construction industry in terms of the design and manufacture of shell structures of non-standard architectural forms made of materials with complex mechanical properties requires using modern integrated computer-aided design systems with step-by-step modeling of deformation of structural elements under operating conditions, as well as taking into account their subsequent behavior after accumulation of residual strains during plastic deformation. The purpose of the study is to simulate the process of plastic deformation of a thin-walled cylindrical shell made of 9X2 GOST 5950-2000 (Interstate Standard) steel under compression and torsion with theoretical calculations based on the general theory of elastoplastic processes by A.A. Ilyushin. The constitutive equations of the theory of elastoplastic processes by A.A. Ilyushin for complex loading path and deformation of materials in the deviatoric strain space are presented. Based on the presented solutions, according to the strain path of the 9X2 steel shell implemented in the model, the graphs showing the relation of the vector and scalar properties of the material to the arc length of the strain path are constructed. A conclusion is made about the degree of hardening of the material in question and its dependence on the magnitude of the angle of convergence at the kink point of the complex path. The graphs of changes in the constitutive plasticity functions with respect to the increments of the arc length of the strain path are presented.
