Abstract: Within the framework of classical elasticity, the nonbuckled deformations are calculated for orthotropic, right circular, thin-walled cylinders under uniform load conditions. The principle direction ...

Abstract: The nonbuckling finite deformations of an orthotropic, thin wall cylinder are investigated. The cylinder is made of a nonlinear material and subjected to internal pressure, end load and torque. ...

Abstract: Whether in storm or normal seas, the ideal offshore cable-stayed compliant tower moves in harmony with the wind and waves. A properly tuned cable configuration is the key to controlled dynamic ...
