“Buckling of composite sandwich cylindrical shell with lattice anisogrid core under hydrostatic pressure”, Journal of Physics: Conference Series, Vol. 1546, Article ID 012139, 2020, doi:10.1088/1742-6596/1546/1/012139

ABSTRACT: Anisogrid structural elements offer significant advantages over conventional stringer-stiffened analogues due to an exceptional strength and stiffness of unidirectional composite ribs, which are used as the main load-bearing elements. The paper presents a numerical solution for buckling of a sandwich cylindrical shell with composite lattice core loaded with hydrostatic pressure. To model the buckling of the shell, the finite element method is used. A parametric analysis on the effect of the number of helical ribs and the orientation angle on the critical hydrostatic pressure is performed. It is revealed that the local, global or coupled buckling modes can be realized in the buckled shell depending on the geometric parameters of the lattice core structure. The parameters at which the shell provides the maximum mass efficiency are determined.
