Abstract: Uniform asymptotic solutions are found for the differential equations governing the symmetric bending of spherical shells of constant thickness subjected to self-equilibrating edge loads and internal ...

Abstract: Formulas are derived which describe the dynamic response of a ring of rigid-plastic material which is subjected to an arbitrarily distributed impulse load. When the impulse is distributed over ...

Abstract: The differential equations governing the deformation of shells of revolution of uniform thickness subjected to axisymmetric self-equilibrating edge loads are transformed into a form suitable for ...
