Visualization of the Process of Static Buckling of a Micropolar Meshed Cylindrical Panel

Abstract

Process visualization of static stability loss in mechanics is shown by the micropolar meshed cylindrical panel example with two families of mutually perpendicular ribs. The mathematical model of the panel's behavior is based on the Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses. The micropolar theory is applied to ac-count for scale effects. Geometric nonlinearity is taken into account according to the theory of Theodor von Karman. The mesh structure is taken into account based on the Pshenichnov I. G. continuum model. Visualization of numerical results using Autodesk 3ds Max software made it possible to more clearly assess the phenomenon of static buckling of the shell in question. Visualization of the results using 3D made it possible to establish that an in-crease in the distance between the edges of the mesh panel and an increase in the parameter depending on the size does not change the bending shape of the panel, as well as the diagrams of moments and forces at subcritical and supercritical loads.
