Abstract:To accurately predict the critical loads on shell structures, it is essential to carry out non-linear analysis. Within the framework of the non-linear theory of shells, a solution method is introduced to investigate the shell stability, the stable pre-and postbuckling states and the in¯uence of initial imperfections on critical loads. At the solution of non-linear equations by iterative methods a problem of convergence near critical points exists. To get over these diculties an iterative method was constructed… Show more
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.
