The residual plastic strain distribution over elastic–viscous–plastic cylindrical shell length upon longitudinal impact on the face

Abstract

This work is devoted to the study of the distribution of residual plastic strains on outer and inner surface over the length of a cylindrical shell in the process of dynamic deformation generated by a longitudinal impact on its end face. As a mathematical model, the Timoschenko’s model was used to describe the dynamic deformation of elastic thin shells, modified for the case of plastic deformations using the Bingham’s model. As the boundary conditions, we selected a longitudinal impact applied at the end face of the shell with longitudinal strains constant in time. As a method for solving the resulting system of differential equations in partial derivatives of a hyperbolic type, the third–order ray method was implemented. The paper represents options for the numerical calculation of the distribution of residual plastic strains for various thicknesses, as well as the corresponding shell shape after unloading.
