Abstract: Airy stress functions are established herein for the solution of hollow annular interfering inserts in thin flat plates which extend to infinity. The equations presented are solved for the case ...

Abstract: From the generalized variational equation of motion is derived a complete system of equations for sandwich as well as homogeneous spherical shells including the effect of thickness-shear deformation. ...

Abstract: The method of Diakoptics, originally designed for the computation of linear electrical network, is also applicable to those linear systems of mechanics, where major subsystems are not too strongly ...

Abstract: Based on a system of nonlinear dynamic equations and the associated variational equation of motion derived for elastic spherical shells (deep or shallow), an investigation of the axisymmetric ...

Abstract: Transmission of vibration by shells of revolution is investigated, with particular emphasis on the effects of shell mass and thickness, internal damping, and edge restraint. Numerical results are ...

Abstract: This paper presents the analytical solutions of local circumferential and longitudinal stresses due to internal pressure on a cylindrical pressure vessel at the juncture of an opening formed by ...
