DEFORMATION AND STRESS IN CYLINDRICAL SHELL UNDER CONCENTRATED LOADING. 1ST REPORT, RADIAL LOADING(

Abstract

Based on K. Mizoguchi's fundamental differential equation, solutions to title problem for shell supported at both ends are obtained by using double Fourier transforms; these are however not suitable for explaining singularity at load application point, and are transformed into uniformly converging series set and closed terms representing singularity; it is shown that in vicinity of load cylinder's circumference deforms outward and gives rise to tensile surface stress; results are applicable to rotary kilns which may suffer fatigue failure by alternated stress due to such deformations.
