Nonlinear Analysis of Anisotropic Shells of Revolution.
Abstract
The paper deals with the solution of a set of nonlinear, second order, differential equations that describe an anisotropic shell of revolution. The analysis is based upon Sanders' nonlinear shell theory. The method for solving these equations follows the procedure used by Budiansky and Radkowski. The equations are uncoupled by treating the nonlinear terms as known quantities, or psuedo loads, and a Gaussian elimination procedure is used to obtain the solution. This solution is used to calculate the nonlinear terms and entered into the system as a revised estimate of the psuedo load. This iterative procedure continues until the solution converges. (Author)
