PROCEDURE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR FLAT BASE SHELL ANALYSIS
Abstract
An analysis of empty flat base shells and filled flat base shells, along with the simplified computational procedures, has been unified and condensed to give a step by step procedure for developing a digital computer program for calculating the displacement and stress in banded flat base shells. The simplified procedures necessary, if desk calculation of stresses are to be made, are included as an intermediate step in the calculation procedure for the more general case requiring the use of digital computation. The analysis from which the material is drawn, is developed from small deformation elastic theory and is applicable to shell designs where stresses will be below the elastic limit of the shell material. By means of the digital computer program prepared from the material presented here, one may obtain for his design a complete analysis of displacement and stress simply by presenting the geometry, loading, and ma erial properties of his shell to the digital computer center.
