INVESTIGATION OF PLATES AND SHELLS UNDER EXTERNAL LOADING AND ELEVATED TEMPERATURES
Abstract
The studies briefly described stem from continuing investigations of plates and shells under external loading and elevated temperatures, and include problems of special interest to designers of missiles and aircraft. Chapter 1 presents the results of investigations of the effects of creep in structures, with particular emphasis on the bending of circular plates. Chapter 2 outlines the work performed on heat conduction problems using Biot's variational method. Chapter 3 discusses the problem of the buckling (small-deflection theory) and postbuckling (large-deflection theory) of noncircular (oval) cylindrical shells under axial compression. Chapter 4 describes work on the analysis of the effects of concentrated loads applied to reinforcing frames of finite and infinitely long circular cylindrical shells. Chapter 5 discusses the results obtained from the analysis of the dynamic response of plastic spherical shells.
