A computer program is developed senerate the co ordinates ofthe psedosperical shell. The model is generated and static sis is done using a general purpose finite element sofovare ANSYS, The critical load she psedosperical shell is compared with a eylindrical shell of same radius, thickness ‘72d height. 1s found out that the critical buckling load depends various factors such as Dect ratio, geometry, support conditions, material properties et. Comparative study is 2% using metalic and honey comb struetves and this shows that the honeycomd racture is comparatively more efciontand economical than metalic siructures. INTRODUCTION Composite materials ase wsed in most of the aero space structures due to is ‘sereased load carrying capacity, less weight and good thermal properties But the usage of posite materials is limited to the most important parts due to its high cos. ‘The pseudo sphericel shell isa structure with volume equal to the volume of @ ‘ular cyfinder of same height and radius but the area is less. This redices the usage of ‘atrial md hence reduces cost. This thesis work deals with the analysis of a peeudo ‘ehercal shel subjected to axial compressive forces. The provision of proper end supports ‘Soteases the load bearing capacity of the shell OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE ‘The objective ofthis project isto model and analyze the buckling behavior of a udo spherical shell under axial compressive foes using the finite clemem software SNSYS. The behavior of the PS shell is compared to that of a repulareyiindrical shel ‘me radius, boight and thickness. The effect of end suppor in the load bearing capacity shells also analyzed, PSEUDOSPHERICAL SHELL ‘A pseudo sphetical shell can be defined as a shel of revolution formed by a tractix as enertor, A tratrx i a curve, which possesses equal tangent segments drawn from any int oni fo One ofits directrix. In other words, a psedospherical shell can be defined as 8 85National Conference on Modem Trends in Civil Engnezrng -Ncu Depart of Civil Engineering, Dr Swvanth Adana Cllege of Engewsing Tock shell of revolution formed by a equitangential curve.

COMPOSITE MATERIALS A composite material is defined as a combination of two or more mate combined together to form a useful material. The advantage of composites that usually exhibit the best qualities oftheir conctituents. Due to thee high strength wo we And high stiffness to weight ratios, they are used in weight sensitive applications suc airerafts and space vehicles. Advantages of composites are '* Composites possess high strength and high stiffness. * The fatigue strength to weight ratios as well as fatigue damage tolerance of = ‘composite laminates is excellent. * They possess high internal damping, which leads to a better vibration exe ‘bsorption within the material + In unfavorable environments, metals are usually. suscepti ‘composites have non-corroding behaviour. * Structures made of composites are lighter than those made of convese materials FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING AND ANALYSIS Tite element analysis i a method for numcical solution of field probes Geld problem requires that we determine the spatial distribution of one or more depend variables.
