Abstract: This paper is concerned with fundamental solutions of static and dynamic linear inextensional theories of thin elastic plates. It is shown that the appropriate conditions which a fundamental ...

Abstract: The boundary-value problem of deformation of a rotationally symmetric shell is stated in terms of a new system of first-order ordinary differential equations which can be derived for any ...

Abstract: A procedure for the analysis of dynamic buckling of axisymmetric shells subjected to axisymmetric, periodic loads of long duration is proposed that is based on the calculation of the nonsymmetric ...

Abstract: A procedure is given for the analysis of axisymmetrically imperfect spherical shells which is not limited by the magnitude of the imperfections. The geometric parameters of the imperfect shell ...

Abstract: The creep behavior in the crotch region of two normally intersecting cylindrical shells of equal diameter and thickness is treated with the aid of an axisymmetric shell model. The edge and ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis for the determination of the contact pressure between a uniform elastic spherical shell and a rigid plate is developed. The results are directly applicable to the theory ...
