Summary: This research investigates the buckling behavior of hybrid-honeycomb sandwich (HHS) cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure. The HHS shells consist of ceramic-metal functionally graded (FG) layers on the outer and inner surfaces, with a layer of lightweight hybrid-honeycomb material in the center. The results show improved buckling resistance, stability, and enhanced energy absorption due to the unique microstructure of the auxetic materials.

Summary: This paper investigates the buckling behavior of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite (FG-GRC) laminated cylindrical shells under axial compression, considering the uniform temperature change effect. A stiffener design option for the FG-GRC cylindrical shells is presented, and a suitable smeared stiffener technique for the GRC laminated stiffener system is developed. The effects of GRC laminated stiffeners, temperature, and graphene-reinforced parameters on the compressed buckling behavior are validated.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the buckling behavior and performance of cylindrical shells with stepwise wall thickness under a combination of axial compression preloading and external pressure. Results showed a significant reduction in the buckling load and post-buckling capacity of cylindrical shells with increasing axial compression preloading. Analytical models were modified and a numerical model was developed to predict the buckling behavior, with interaction graphs for axial compression and external pressure derived from the experimental data.

Summary: The classical theory of elastic critical buckling stress works well for slender columns and thin flat plates, but not for thin-walled circular cylindrical shells under longitudinal compression. The issue has been a problem for over 100 years. Current analyses have focused on the longitudinal buckling deformation mode and ignored the circumferential closed-loop eigenmode. It is necessary to consider both eigenmodes to accurately describe the periodic deformation of the shell under uniform longitudinal compression.

Summary: In this work, the buckling behaviours of cylindrical-conical-cylindrical assembly shells under axial compression at elevated temperature are investigated through experimental and numerical studies. Buckling experiments are conducted at 600 degrees C, followed by numerical predictions using a method that takes into account initial geometric imperfections. The effects of key factors on the buckling behaviours are discussed, and a good agreement is found between experimental and numerical results.

Summary: This study investigates the buckling behavior of thin-walled circular shells under local axial compression using the vector form intrinsic finite element (VFIFE) method, which introduces a multilinear hardening model while considering geometric and material nonlinearity. A buckling analysis program based on the VFIFE method is developed and verified through experimental comparison. The program is then used to study the buckling mode and postbuckling behavior of thin-walled circular shells. The results demonstrate that the VFIFE method with a multilinear hardening model can accurately calculate the buckling load and simulate the buckling development process, providing significant advantages in predicting postbuckling behavior.

Summary: This paper investigates the buckling behavior of thin-walled cylindrical shells under multi-region localized axial compression using experimental and numerical studies. It is found that the number of loading regions and the total loading area have significant effects on the buckling failure mode and axial load-carrying capacity of cylindrical shells. The results can provide important guidance and suggestions for the design of thin-walled cylindrical shell structures in actual engineering.

Summary: The two-dimensional turbulent thermal classical far wake is investigated in this study. The turbulence is described using the Boussinesq hypothesis for Reynolds stresses and Prandtl's mixing length model for eddy viscosity and eddy thermal conductivity. Two conservation laws are derived for the thermal boundary layer equations using the multiplier method, and two conserved quantities are obtained from the conserved vectors and boundary conditions. Lie point symmetry associated with the momentum and thermal conserved vectors is derived, showing that the momentum and thermal mixing lengths are proportional. An invariant solution is obtained numerically using a shooting method, and analytically when v = 0, kappa = 0.

Summary: This paper focuses on the numerical computation of vibrations in geometrically nonlinear structures induced by aeroelastic coupling with fluid flow using reduced order models (ROM). The proposed ROM formulation utilizes projection on a basis of reduced dimension enhanced with dual modes, allowing for the accurate capture of dynamic characteristics and adaptation to unsteady aerodynamic loads. The limitations of the classical Implicit Condensation method are highlighted, while the ROM proposed overcomes these limitations and accurately captures the dynamics.

Summary: This study investigates the non-linear slosh dynamics of a sloped wall tank with a bottom-mounted object under seismic excitation. The potential flow theory is used to model the liquid domain using a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The study successfully quantifies the non-linear seismic response of the tank and the influence of the internal object on the hydrodynamic behavior. A parametric investigation is conducted by altering the object's height. Comparison with linear analysis justifies the necessity of non-linear analysis. The developed non-linear finite element model is found to be more effective and can be used in designing structure-coupled sloped wall TLDs.

Summary: This study investigates the characteristics of a magnet-engaged nonlinear piezoelectric energy generator stimulated by friction-induced vibration (FIV) in two distinct design configurations (in parallel and in-series). The results indicate that factors such as decay factor, dynamic friction coefficient, static friction coefficient, and normal force have an effect on the stability of the system and the generation of FIV. The in-parallel systems exhibit a higher charging power within the same operating range, while the in-series systems are more likely to excite FIV with a wider operating range.
