Abstract
This investigation deals with the axisymmetric static and dynamic buckling of a cylindricaliy orthotropic truncated shallow conical cap with clamped edge. The cases of conical caps with a free central circular hole and with a hole plugged by a rigid central mass have been considered. The governing equations are formulated in terms of normal displacement w and stress function Ψ. The orthogonal point collection method is used for spatial discretisation and the Newmark-β scheme is used for time-marching. Analysis has been carried out for a uniformly distributed conservative load normal to the undeformed surface and a central axial ring load at the hole. Dynamic load is taken as a step function load. The influence of orthotropic parameter β and annular ratio on the buckling loads has been investigated. New results for static and dynamic buckling loads have been presented for the isotropic and orthotropic truncated conical caps. Dynamic buckling loads obtained from static analysis have been found to agree well with the dynamic buckling loads based on transient response.
