Experimental Analysis of the Stress State of a Prestressed Cylindrical Shell with Various Structural Parameters

Abstract

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the features of the operation of prestressed shells, taking into account the various structural parameters of the prestress. It is established that when the winding angle changes from perpendicular to the shell axis to 75° and 65°, the circumferential stresses decrease 1.4 times and 1.2 times, respectively, and the axial stresses increase five and three times, which are two and four times lower than the circumferential, from which it can be concluded that the reduction in the winding angle to the longitudinal the axis of the shell has a positive effect on the stress state of the structure. The study also found that with an increase in the diameter of the winding wire from 1 to 2 mm and a change in the winding angle, the same nature of the stress distribution is observed, but the values of the stress state parameter change, so the efficiency increases up to 25% due to an increase in the winding thickness, depending on the pitch, angle and thickness of the winding, which favorably affects the strength and the bearing capacity of the structure as a whole by increasing the value of the stress state parameter. Thus, the results of the analysis will allow us to use in more detail the possibility of controlling the stress–strain state of the prestressed shell by changing the design parameters, and the results obtained can be used in design or construction, as well as when increasing the strength characteristics of the structure, which allows us to create a high-tech design optimal for these operating conditions, which can positively complement the studies conducted earlier in this direction.
