This study presents three-dimensional finite element analysis to the behavior of composite concrete-corrugated steel cylindrical shell. This type of construction utilizes the advantages of both of ordinary reinforced concrete and the composite action of cylindrical shell with corrugated steel plates. The 8-node brick elements in (ANSYS v.9.0) have been used to represent the concrete, while the steel barsare modeled as discrete axial members connected with concrete elements at shared nodes with the assumption of prefect bond between the concrete and the steel bars. The corrugated steel plate is modeled by four-node shell elements. The interface elements are modeled by using three-dimensional surface to surface contact elements connected with the nodes of concrete and steel channel elements. Comparison is made between the results obtained from the finite element analysis and the available experimental results of previous studies

This paper present an investigation of the collapse load in cylinder shell under uniform external hydrostatic pressure with optimum design using finite element method via ANSYS software. Twenty cases are studied inclusive stiffeners in longitudinal and ring stiffeners. Buckling mode shape is evaluated. This paper studied the optimum design generated by ANSYS for thick cylinder with external hydrostatic pressure. The primary goal of this paper was to identify the improvement in the design of cylindrical shell under hydrostatic pressure with and without Stiffeners (longitudinal and ring) with incorporative technique of an optimization into ANSYS software. The design elements in this research was: critical load, design variable (thickness of shell (TH), stiffener’s width (B) and stiffener’s height (HF). The results obtained illustrated that the objective is minimized using technique of numerical optimization in ANSYS with optimum shell thickness and stiffener’s sizes. In all cases the design variables (thickness of shell) was thicker than the monocoque due to a shell’s thicker is essential to achieve the strength constraints. It can be concluded that cases (17,18,19, and 20) have more than 90% of un-stiffened critical load. The ring stiffeners causes increasing buckling load than un-stiffened and longitudinal stiffened cylinder

In this work the critical pressure due to buckling was calculated numerically by using ANSYS15 for both stiffened and un-stiffened cylinder for various locations and installing types , strengthening of the cylinder causes a more significant increase in buckling pressures than non reinforced cylinder . The optimum design of structure was done by using the ASYS15 program; in this step the number of design variables 21 DVs. These variables are Independent variables that directly affect. The design variables represented the thickness of the cylinder and( height and width of 10 stiffeners). State variables (SVs), these variables are dependent variables that change as a result of changing the DVs and are necessary to constrain the design. The objective function is the one variable in the optimization that needs to be minimized. In this case the state variable is critical pressure (CP) and the objective function is the total (volume) of the structure. The optimum weight of the structure with reasonable required conditions for multi types of structure was found. The result shows the best location of stiffener at internal side with circumferential direction. In this case the critical pressure can be increased about 18.6% and the total weight of the structure decreases to 15.8%.
