Abstract

The article considers solving the problem of large axisymmetric deformations of elastomeric torus shells of revolution, loaded with jointly acting torques, axial and centrifugal forces. The task is posed due to the calculation of rubber elements of couplings. The calculations are performed according to the momentless shell theory by solving a nonlinear one-dimensional boundary value problem using the shooting method, as well as in a three-dimensional formulation using the finite element method. The calculation results are presented both for convex and concave torus shells. The load characteristics are compared for free and constrained torsion. The dependence of axial reactions in supports on torque and centrifugal forces has been investigated.
