Displacements are assumctl as truncated Fourier Series plus simplr terms in the axial coordinate to account for the closed-end pres- sure vcssel effect. Equilibrium is imposed by virtual work. Point-wise displacement continuity between the sliell and stiffeners is achieved by Lagrange mul- tipliers wliicll represent the interacting line load dis- tributions between the stiffeners and the inside shell wall.

INTRODUCTION

The design of stiffener-to-skin joints is cited by Jackson, et ai.' as one of the major technol- ogy issues in utilizing graphite-epoxy composites in the fuselage of a large transport aircraft. Stiffen- ers can be attached to the skin by either fasten- ers, cecuring, adhesive bonding, or sonie combi- nation of these methods. Where fasteners are re- quired in a graphite-epoxy structure, aluminium fas- teners cannot he iised because of galvanic corro- sion to the metal. More expensive fasteners, like

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the load transfer in bonded stiffener-to-skin joints under cabin pressurization. Internal pressure is an impor- tant load to consider because it tends to cause peel stresses in the bond line, and peel stresses are par- ticularly debilitating in adhesive joints.

An idealized structural model of tlie fuselage is analyzed. This configuration is a long circular cylin- drical shell stiffened on the inside by a regular ar- rangement of identical stringers and identical rings (frames). Periodicity of this configuration permits the analysis of a portion of the shell wall centered over a generic stringer-ring joint; Le., deformation of a structural unit cell determines the deformation of the entire stiffened shell. See Fig. 1. The stringer is assumed to have a symmetrical cross section, and the franie is assumed to have an asymmetrical open section. Asymmetrical open section frames are com- monly u.,ed as transverse stiffeners in the fuselage structiire. The stiffeners are modeled as discrete beams perfectly honded to the inside shell wall, so that the interacting loads between the stiffeners and shell wall are line load intensities.

For symmetric sectioli stiffeners, the response of the unit cell is symmetric about the stringer axis and the ring asis, and there is no rotation of stringer- ring-shell joint. For this bi-symmetric case, Wang and Hsu' presented results for the linear response, and Johnson and Rastogi7 presented results for thc geometrically nonlinear response.

MATHEMATICAL MODEL

The radius of the middle surface of the unde- formed cylindrical shell is denoted by R, and the thickness of the shell is denoted by 1 as shown in Fig. 1 . Axial coordinate z and the circun~ferential angle 8 are lines of curvature on the middle surface, and the thicknes.; coordinate is denoted by t, with -1/2 5 2 5 t / 2 . The origin of the surface coordi- nates is centered over the stiffeners intersection so that - 1 5 .e 5 1 and -0 5 0 5 0 , where 21 is the axial length, arid 2 R 0 is [lie circumferential arc length of the repeating unit.

'rhc virtual work function- als are augmented by Lagrange niultipliers to en- force kinematic constraints between the st,ructiiral components of the repeating unit.. The Lagrange multipliers represent the interacting line loads be- tween the stiffeners and the shell. Displacentents are separately assumed for the shell, stringer. and the ring.

TRANSVERSE SHEAR DEFORMATIOB ---- FORMULATIONS

A coiisiste:it first order t ratisverse shear de- formation theory is devc.lqped to model the shell. Based on the assumption that the shell thickness I IS relatively srriall and hence, does not change during loading, thr displacements ai, an arbitrary material poitit in tho shell are approximatrd by

Using Eqs. ( 1 ) t o (3) arid assuming small rlisplace- nient gradients, the three-tliniensional engiiiecring strains are

In Eqs. (4) to (6), the two-dimensional, or shell, strain measures, which are independent of the 2-

coordinate, are defined by

The transverse shear strains ex, and eez given in Eqs. (6) were obtained through differentiation of Eqs. (1) to (3) with respect to z. However, Eqs. (1) to (3 ) are approximate in the z-coordinate, so that differentiating with respect to z cannot cap- ture the distribution of the transverse shear strains through the thickness of the shell. Since the ma- terial is assumed rigid in the z-direction ( e z z = 0). the distribution of the transverse shear strains, and consequently the distribution of the transverse shear stresses, does not influence the shell behavior. I t is the integral of the transverse shear stresses through the thickness, or transverse shear resultants. that influences shell behavior. Thus, Eqs. (6) should be viewed as average kalues of the transverse shear strains, or as the transverse shear strains evaluated a t the reference surface ( 2 = 0).

If we set the (average) transverse shear strains in Eq. (6 ) t o zero, then the rotations of the normal are s 11:

so that

(15) l i ~ n c r , the thickness clistrihution of the shear strain reduces to

which coincides with the results of Novozliilov’s8 classical shell t,heory.

It is evident from Eq. ( 5 ) that three shell strain measures are needed to represent the in-plane shear strain distribution through the t#hickness in t,he transverse shear deformation shell theory. Whereas, only two shell strain measures are required in classi- cal shell theory to represent the shearing strain dis- tribution through the thickness (refer t o Eq. (16)). Also it. can be shown that under rigid body rotation of the shell, the nine shell strain measures, given by Eqs. (7) through (12) vanish. (For Novozhilov’s classical shell theory, six shell strain measures given by Eqs. (7-9) and (15) vanish under rigid body ro- tations).

The physical stress resultants and stress couples for the shell in terms of stress components are given, in tlhe usual way, by

where the external virtual work for a cylindrical shell under constant internal pressure, including an axial load due t o the closed-end effect, is written as

The periodic portions of the displacements and rotations are represented by truncated Fourier Se- ries having fundamental periods in the stringer and ring spacing. The non-periodic portions of the dis- placements due to axial stretching are represented by simple terms in r. The Fourier Series reflect sym- metry about the x-axis for the repeating unit. For the shell, displacements of the middle surface (see Fig. 3a) are represented as

N loads were determiped from rigid body equilibriuni conditions for the iing and stringer, and from dis- placement continuity conditions between the shell and the stiffeners. The external virtual work for the stringer and ring must vanish for any possible rigid body motions of these elements. For the stringer these rigid body motions are spatially uniform x- direction and z-direction displacements. (A rigid body rotation of the stringer in the r-z plane is not considered since this motion would violate longitu- dinal periodicity of the repeating units.) Vanishing of the external virtual work for an arbitrary rigid body displacement of the stringer in the axial direc- tion leads to the E-direction equilibrium equation

similarly, the equilibrium equation for a rigid bod,, displacement of the stringer in the 2-direction is

(73)

If the ring is considered in its entirety, that is, as made up of an integer number of repeating units around its circumference, the rigid body motions that lead to non-trivial equilibrium conditions are a displacement in the z-direction and a rotation about an axis through the centroid of the ring parallel to the E-direction. The z-direction equilibrium equa-

Eqs. (65) to (67). The sine series for Xer given in Eq. (68) satisfies the equilibrium condition given in Eq. (75).

Consider the variational form of the constraints, Eqs. (48) and {49), for the spatially uniform conipo- nents of the virtual interacting loads. These equa- tions are

Since these equations are satisfied on the basis that 6A,,20 = 0, SAzS2o = 0 and 6X,,o = 0, con- sistent with Eq. (76), the bracketed terms in Eqs. (77) to (79) do not necessarily vanish. The implica- tion that these bracketed terms in Eqs. (77) to (79) do not vanish is that displacement continuity con- ditions are not satisfied pointwise. Pointwise con- tinuity can be achieved by taking each Fourier co- efficient appearing in the bracketed terms of Eqs. (77) to (79) to be individually zero. Fourier Series given in Eqs. (51), (54), (56), (58), (59), and (63) reflect this choice. Moreover, Fourier coefficients 21200, ~ ~ 2 0 , and uro represent rigid body displace- ment in the axial direction for the shell, stringer, and ring, respectively, and setting them to zero can be justified on the basis that rigid body displace- ment does not contribute to the deformation of the structural elements. Since Fourier coefficient w,20

represents rigid body displacement of the stringer in the z-direction, it would seem that it should be set to zero as well. However, to maintain continuity between the stringer and the shell in the z-direction, we impose the condition

to determine 2 0 ~ 2 0 after obtaining the solution for the displacement components that deform the shell;

i.e., Fourier coefficients LVlOn, n = 1, ..,, N , are taken to be non-zero independent degrees of freedom since the stringer coefficient w,?O is not a part of the so- lution vector.

Finally, consider the constraint equation associ- ated with 6Aor0, the spatially uniform component of the interacting moment intensity, which was omit- ted in the series given by Eq. (70). Derived from Eq. (49), this constraint equation is

We equated the constant component of the twist, c#JerO, to zero from the considerations associated with Eq. (79). Consequently, a non-zero value of the constant component of the interacting moment in- tensity, Aero # 0, would not contribute to the equi- librium of the ring, since Aero and 4oro are con- jugate variables in the external work for the ring (refer to Eq. (31)). Since 4erO = 0, it is neces- sary that Aero = 0 to achieve consistent conditions for the torsional and out-of-plane bending equilib- rium of the ring. With 6Asro = 0 in Eq. (81), the bracketed term does not necessarily vanish, and as a result pointwise rotational continuity betwen the shell and the ring is not assured. Pointwise rota- tional continuity is achieved if we take the coeffi- cients wzm0 = 0, rn = 1, ..., M , as is done in the Fourier Series for the normal displacement of the shell given by Eq. (53).

The 4M x 1 discrete interacting loads vect,or for the shell-stringer interface and ( 5 N + 1) x 1 vector for the shell-ring interface are the same as for t h e sliear deformation model and are given by Eqs. ( 8 7 ) and (88), respectively.

The approximations in Eqs. (51) through (64) for the displacements and Eqs. (65) through ( 7 1 ) for the interacting loads are substituted into the vir- tual work functionals for each structural element, and also substituted into the variational form of displacement continuity constraints. Then integra- tion over the space is performed. (The test space of virtual displacements and the virtual interact- ing loads is the same space used for the approx- imations in Eqs. (51-71).) This process results in a lOMN + 13M + 14N + 6 system of equa- tions for the transverse shear deformation model and 6 M N + 10M + 11N + 6 system of equations for the classical model, governing the displacements and the interacting loads, The governing equations are of the form

in which sub-matrices K l l , I i22 and K33 are the stiffness matrices for the shell, stringer, and ring, respectively. The sub-matrices Bij i, j = 1 ,2 ,3 , in Eq. (94) are determined from the external virtual work terms involving the interacting loads, and the constraint Eqs. (48) to (50). The vector on the right-hand-side of Eq. (94) is the force vector, deter- mined from the external virtual work terms involv- ing pressure. The constrailit equations correspond to the last three rows of the partitioned matrix in Eq. (94). Equation (94) is first solved for the dis- placements in terms of interacting loads, then this solution is substituted into the constraint equations

to determine the interacting loads. Thus, the total solution is obtained.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Interacting Load Distributions

The distributions of the interacting load intensi- ties between the stiffeners and the shell are shown in Figs. 5 through 11. The effects of transverse shear

1744

deformations and of warping of the ring’s cross sec- tion due to torsion on the magnitudes of the inter- acting line loads are summarized in Table 1. For the component Azs tangent to the stringer (Fig. 5 ) ) there are only small differences in the distributions as predicted by the four structural models. How- ever, the peak value of the component normal to the stringer, A,,, is reduced in the transverse shear deformation models with respect to its peak value in the classical models (Fig. 6 and Table 1).

The distributions of axial force intensity, A,,, between the ring and shell predicted by the classi- cal and shear deformation models with warping are nearly the same (Fig. 7). However, the distributions of this force intensity predicted by the classical and shear deformation models without warping have sig- nificant differences. Thus, this interacting load in- tensity is more sensitive to the inclusion or exclusion of warping of the ring’s cross section into the strue- tural model. As shown in Fig. 8, the differences in the results for circumferential force intensity, A e r ,

between the ring and shell from the four models are small, except in the vicinity of the stiffener inter- section where the effects of including the transverse shear deformation into the models are manifested. However, the differences in Aer occur over one wave length of the highest frequency i.e., AO/@ = 2/24. Differences occuring over the shortest wavelength may not be significant; more terms in the Fourier Series are required to verify this. The distributions of the normal force intensity, Atrl between the ring and shell predicted by the four models are essen- tially the same (Fig. 9). The distributions of the Circumferential moment component, Aer , predicted by the classical models have higher magnitudes as compared to shear deformation models (Fig. 10 and Table 1). Also note the change in sign of ne,. dis- tributions in the vicinity of the joint as a result of inclusion of warping into the models. The classical theory predicts much larger magnitudes of normal moment component, A,,-, compared to the trans- verse shear deformation theory for the models in which warping is included (Fig. 11 and Table 1). However, the reverse is true for the structural mod- els with warping excluded. Also, there is a change in sign in the distributions of A,, for classical models with and without warping effects.

The distribution of the normal component of the traction across the width of the attachment flasqe of the ring is represented by iine force intensity A t r

and line moment intensity A@,-. The values of A z r

are nearly the same in the classical and transverse shear deformation models (Fig. 9), but magnitudes of Ae, are substantially decreased in the transverse shear deformation models with respect to the clas- sical models (Fig. 10). Thus, the asymmetry of the normal traction across the flange width of the ring is decreased in the transverse shear deformation models with respect to the classical models.

The distribution of the circumferential compo- nent of the traction across the width of the attach- ment flange of the ring is represented by line force intensity Aer and line moment intensity Alp . The values of ABr are nearly the same in the classical and transverse shear deformation models (Fig. 8). However, the magnitude of A,, is substantially in- tread in the transverse shear deformation model with respect to the classical model with warping ex- cluded, and is substantially decreased in the trans- verse shear deformation model with respect to the classical model with warping included (Fig. 11). Thus, the asymmetry of the circumferential trac- tion across the flange width of the ring is increased in the transverse shear deformation model with re- spect to the classical model without warping, and is decreased in the transverse shear deformation model with respect to the classical model with warping.

For the stiffened shell configuration with asym- metrical cross section ring, the inclusion of trans- verse shear deformation and warping of ring’s cross section into the analyses influences the distributions and magnitudes of interacting line load components A,,, A i r l Aer , ne,, and A z p . The distributions of interacting line load components A,, and A,, re- main essentially the same. The cause of sensitivity to transverse shear deformations is two-fold: First, the tangential displacements of the shell along the contact lines are de-coupled from the out-of-plane ro- tations of the reference surface of the shell, and for the stiffeners the longitudinal displacements along the contact lines are de-coupled from the rotations of the longitudinal reference axes. Second, in the transverse shear deformation model, the torsional rotation of the ring at the shell-stringer-ring joint is de-coupled from the in-plane bending rotation of the stringer at the joint, thereby allowing for increased joint flexibility. In the classical model, the torsional rotation of the ring at the joint is constrained to be the same as the bending rotation of the stringer (see Fig. 12). The values of these joint rotations

for the four structural models are given in Table 2. Notice from Table 2 that the sense of the ro- tation changes if warping is included, and that the transverse shear deformation results in a torsional rotation of the ring that is about twice as much as the bending rotation of the stringer.

Resultants at the Stiffener Intersection

The interacting line load intensities acting on the inside of the shell wall can be resolved into a re- sultant at the stiffener intersection (x = 0 = 0). In general this resultant consists of a force with com- ponents F,, Fe and F,, and a couple with moment components Cr, Ce and C,. These components are shown in their positive sense on the inside of the shell wall in Fig. 13. The components of the resul- tant force vector are defined by

components Fr = Fe = Cx = C', = 0. Thus, at the stiffener intersection, the only non-zero rcsul- tants are a radial force resultant, F,, and a circuin- ferential moment resultant Ce (refer Fig. 13). In Eq. (99) the circumferential moment component, Ce, consists of two line integrals; the first integral being the contribution of shell-stringer interacting loads, and the second representing the contributions of shell-ring interacting loads. The contribution to the radial force resultant F, in Eq. (97) comes only from the shell-ring interacting load intensitites since the resultant from the stringer vanishes by Eq. (73) .

The values of the radial force and circumfer- ential moment resultants are computed using Eqs. (97) and (99) for the four structural models under consideration, and are given in Table 3. The differ- ences predicted by the four structural models in the magnitudes of the radial force resultant F, are very small, and are within 0.4% of each other. There are substantial differences i n the magnitudes of cir- cumferential COP. onent of the moment predicted by the four mode'.,. The values of Ce predicted by the models with -, tarping included are much larger than those predicted by the models without warping ef- fects. The individual contributions of the stringer and ring t o Ce are also affected by the change in the model as shown in Table 3, It may be noted that Ce is more sensitive to the effect of warping than to transvcrse shear deformation.

Singular Behavior at the Joint

In Table 1 the comparison of peak values of the interacting liae load intensities is meant t,o convey the influences of transverse shear deformations and warping in the structural modeling. The peak values of components AIS , Axrr A,,, and Aer occur a t the joint, but these peak values do not exhibit conver- gence with an increasing number of terms retained in the Fourier Series. It appears that these com- ponents are singular at the joint. However, the re- sultants F, and Ce determined from these line load intensities are found to converge quite rapidly. See Johnson and Rastogi7 for further discussion of this point.

moment distributions (Fig. 14) are slightly asym- metric about the origin. The bending moment dis- tributions in the stringer are more sensitive to the change in models as compared to the axial force dis- tributions. The distribution of stringer shear force, V,,, is shown in Fig. 15, and it is asymmetric about the origin. Only small differences are predicted by the four structural models in the distribution of V,,.

The distributions of the circumferential force and in-plane bending moment in the ring are shown in Fig. 16. The differences in these distributions predicted by the four models are very small. The distributions of the in-plane shear force, Vzr, in the ring predicted by the four structural models have negligible differences, as shown in Fig. 17. The out- of-plane bending moment Mz, and torque T r in the ring are more sensitive to the change in models as shown Fig. 18. The distributions of the out-of-plane bending moment are symmetric about the origin, and their magnitudes predicted by the models with warping included are substantially larger as com- pared to the magnitudes predicted by the models without warping. The distributions of total torque, Tr (= T,, - &fur/&), are antisymmetric about the origin. As shown in Fig. 18, the torque has re- duced magnitudes in the transverse shear deforma- tion model compared to the classical model when warping is included. The torque predicted by the models without warping is St. Venant’s torque Tar , and this is negligible as shown in Fig. 18. The distri- butions of out-of-plane shear force, V,,., in the ring are shown in Fig. 19, and these distributions are antisymmetric about the origin. The magnitudes of VZr predicted by the transverse shear deformation model are larger compared to the classical model when warping is included. However the reverse is true for the Vz+ distributions without warping. The distributions for Me,, Vz,, Adz,, Tr and Vs, shown in Figs. 14, 15, 18 an3 19, respectively, indicate that these stiffener actions are sensitive to both trans- verse shear deformations and warping deformations.

Shell ResDonse

The distribution of the normal displacement along r-curve midway between the stringers ( 0 = -e), and along the &curve midway between the rings (z = -!), are shown in Fig. 20. As depicted in this figure, there is a negligible difference between the results from the transverse shear deformation model and classical model (warping is included in

both models). Also, there is negligible difference in the axial and circumferential normal strain distribu- tions between the two models as shown in Figs. 21 and 22. Thus, the normal displacement and in-plane normal strains for the shell are not significantly in- fluenced by the inclusion of either transverse shear deformations or warping effects into the structural models, in part because the shell is very thin for the example studied.

A Ring with Symmetric Cross Section

As a benchmark for comparing transverse shear deformation model with the classical model, anal- yses were performed for a ring with symmetrical cross section. In this case the changes made to the numerical example under discussion arf: to set the bending-coupling stiffeness EI,, , the out-of-plane bending to warping coupling stiffness EI,,, and the contour warping function parameter wo of the ring, all to zero. Consequently, the @-axis, as well as the z-axis, are axes of symmetry for the repeating unit in terms of geometry, load, and material proper- ties. Symmetry about the 0-axis implies there is no out-of-plane bending and torsion of the ring; i.e., .,(e) = der(8) = d z r ( 8 ) = &rr(d) = &+(e) = h t r ( 0 ) = 0 for -0 5 6 5 0. Thus, for the symmet- rical section stiffeners only the interacting line load components tangent and normal to the stiffeners are non-zero. Since the internal pressure loading is syrn- metric, warping of the ring’s cross section does not play any role in the analyses.

The distributions of the tangential interacting load intensity between the shell and ring are shown in Fig. 23. The differences in the results from the two models are small except in the vicinity of the stiffener intersection. The peak magnitude of Xer in the transverse shear deformation model is smaller than the peak value for Aer in the classical model (50.8 lb/in versus 64.5 lb/in,). However, this dif- ference occurs over one wave length of the highest harmonic retained in the analysis, and may not be significant. The distributions of the tangential and normal interacting load intensities between the shell and stringer, and the normal load intensity between the shell and ring are not significantly different in the two models.

For a symmetrical cross section ring, in Eqs. (95) through (100) Fz = Fe = C, = Ce = C, = 0. The only non-zero component of the force resultaqt

1749

is the radial force F,. The values of F, computed from the classical and transverse shear deformation models are -563.72 lb. and -561.89 lb., respectively.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

The asymmetrical section ring complicated the analysis of the unit cell, since symmetry about the plane of the ring is lost. Out-of-plane bending and torsion of the ring occur as well as a rotation of the shell-stringer-ring joint about the circumferen- tial axis. Inclusion of transverse shear deformations, and warping deformation of the ring’s cross section due to torsion, into the mathematical model signif- icantly influenced several aspects of the response.

The sense of the rotations of the structural ele- ments at the joint is changed with the inclusion of warping deformation in the ring, and the twist ro- tation of the ring at the joint increases by 40% with the inclusion of transverse shear deformation, as is shown in Table 2. That is, joint flexibility increases since element rotations at the joint are de-coupled by using transverse shear deformation models.

The interacting loads that are strongly affected by the structural modeling are those components as- sociated with the asymmetric response. These are :he axial force intensity Azr , the normal moment intensity A,, , and the tangential moment intensity A@, between the ring and shell. At the joint the magnitude of Azr is increased by the inclusion of warping and reduced by the inclusion of transverse shear (Fig. 7). The normal moment intensity is a measure of the asymmetry in the distribution of the circumferential traction across the width of the ring’s attachment flange. The sense of Azr is changed when both transverse shear and warping are included, and its magnitudes are reduced by the transverse shear effect (Fig. 11). However, the mag- nitude of the resultant of the circumferential trac- tion across the flange width of the ring, as measured by the line load intensity Aer, is only moderately affected by the changes in the structural mljdels (Fig. 8). The tangential moment intensity As, is a measure of the asymmetry in the distribution of the normal traction across the width of the ring’s attachment flange. At the joint, the sense of A@, is changed by the inclusion of warping deformation and additionally its magnitude is reduced by the in- clusion of transverse shear deformation (Fig. 10). However, the magnitude of the resultant of the nor- mal traction across the flange width, as measured by

the line load intensity A I , , is essentially unaffected by changes in the structural models (Fig. 9) .

The distributions of the normal actions between the shell and stiffeners ( A z s , A,,, and A e r ) all show significant magnitudes only in the vicinity of the joint, with much smaller magnitudes away from the joint. In fact, they all appear to exhibit singular be- havior at the joint, but only finite magnitudes are represented by the truncated series approximations. The distributions of the actions tangent to the stiff- eners (A,,, A o r , and Az,) , on the other hand, have small magnitudes in the vicinity of the joint and larger magnitudes away from the joint. These tan- gential actions do not exhibit singular behavior.

Inspite of the singular behavior of the line load intensities associated with the normal actions, the resultant of these distributions resolved at the joint converge relatively quickly with the number of terms retained in the series approximations. The resul- tant consists of a radial force F, and a moment Cs about the circumeferential axis. F, represents the action of the stiffeners to pull the shell radially in- ward against the pressure load, and Ce is primarily due to asymmetry in the actions between the ring and shell. Force F, is essentially unaffected by the structural modeling (Table 3), and its magnitude for the example studied is about 17% of the total pressure load carried by the unit cell. The remain- ing pressure load is carried by the shell itself. The moment Ce is very sensitive to the structural model- ing, in particular to the effect of warping as shown in Table 3. This moment Ce vanishes for a completely symmetric problem.

The out-of-plane bending moment and torque in the ring are very sensitive to the structural model- ing, as might be expected. The magnitudes of the both the out-of-plane bending moment and torque increase with the inclusion of warping and trans- verse shear into the mathematical model (Fig. 18). However, shell’s normal displacement and strains are insensitive to the changes in the structural mod- els for the very thin shell (R / t =; 1268) used in the numerical example.
