Axisymmetric Banding of Annular Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The potential energy formulation of von Karman plate theory and the Ritz method are utilized to obtain solutions for deformation and stress in a variable thickness annular plate with built-in ...
The Application of the Minimum Potential Energy Principle to Nonlinear Axisymmetric Membrane Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The deformed configuration of nonlinear axisymmetric membranes is obtained by potential energy minimization via the Ritz method. The solution technique presented in this paper departs from the ...
A Modified Linear Membrane Theory for the Pressurized Toroid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A modified linear membrane theory for the pressurized toroid is presented for which the displacement field is nonsingular. The derivation rests on a nonlinear formulation, but the equations are ...
The Inflation and Contact Constraint of a Rectangular Mooney Membrane
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a minimum energy solution for the deformed configuration of an edge-bonded rectangular membrane loaded with uniform pressure and contacting a frictionless rigid constraint. A ...
