Abstract: On the basis of 3D elasticity, asymptotic solutions for buckling analysis of multilayered anisotropic conical shells under axial compression are presented. By means of proper nondimensionalization, asymptotic expansion, ...

Abstract: A mixed finite-element scheme based on a discrete layer, high-order deformation theory is proposed, in this paper, for the analysis of thick, doubly curved laminated shells. The three-dimensional (3D) elasticity solutions ...

Abstract: An asymptotic theory is presented for the analysis of laminated annular spherical shells by the perturbation method. By means of proper nondimensionalization, asymptotic expansion, and then successive integration of the ...

Abstract: Dynamic response of concrete pavements subjected to moving loads is analyzed by using the three-dimensional (3D) finite-element method in conjunction with Newmark integration scheme. The dynamic vehicle-pavement-foundation ...

Abstract: A discrete‐layer, high‐order theory for the stress and displacement analyses of thick, doubly curved laminated shells is presented. The displacements of the shell in the theory are assumed to be layer‐by‐layer high‐order ...

Abstract: On the basis of Reissner’s mixed variational theorem (RMVT), rather than the principle of virtual displacement (PVD), the authors presented a nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory (TBT) for the geometrically nonlinear static ...

Abstract: A refined theory of doubly curved laminated shells is derived by means of perturbation. It is an extension of the asymptotic theory developed recently for static and dynamic analysis of multilayered shells. As a result of ...

Abstract: Analysis of the bending and stretching problem of doubly curved laminated shells is formulated on the basis of three-dimensional elasticity. The basic idea underlying the approach is to make the formulation amenable to ...
