Discarding any assumption about displacement models and stress distribution and introducing d-function into the present study, we established the state equation for the continuous orthotropic open cylindrical shells. An identical exact solution is presented for the itatics of thin, moderately. thick and thick laminated continuous open cylindrical shells. NumericaI results are obtained and compared with those calculated using SAPS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
