ON THE EQUATIONS FOR AXISYMMETRIC DEFORMATION OF SHALLOW SHELLS OF REVOLUTION.

Abstract

The equations governing the axisymmetric deformation of shallow shells (caps) of revolution are derived without introducing the simplifying assumption concerning the transverse shear force that is basic to the Mushtari-Vlasov approximation of thin shell theory. The equations derived are then specialized for the case of shallow spherical caps and compared with the Reissner equation which is a special case of the Mushtari-Vlasov approximation. Two problems are solved and the results are compared with the corresponding solutions of the Reissner equation. (Author)
