Abstract: Buckling characteristics of anisotropic laminated cylindrical panels are presented using an isoparametric nine-noded rectangular element. Kinematic relations, extended to include the first-order shear ...

Abstract: Bending analysis of closed cylindrical shells subjected to asymmetric load and having different support conditions is of interest in the design of chimneys, water towers, oil storage tanks, etc. A simple method of analyzing ...

Abstract: An elasticity solution has been obtained for a long multilayered cylindrical shell of transversely isotropic layers subjected to axisymmetric radial load following Lekhnitskii’s stress function ...

Abstract: A parabolic shear‐deformation beam theory assuming a higher‐order variation for axial displacement has been recently presented. In this theory, the axial displacement variation can be selected so that it results in a ...

Abstract: An elasticity solution is presented for a semi‐infinite transversely isotropic medium having a circular cylindrical hole with an elastic lining. The lining is analyzed as an orthotropic shell. The general solution obtained ...

Abstract: Closed-form solutions are not tractable for clamped composite plates due to the boundary conditions and anisotropy of the plate. In the present work, a method based on Lagrange multipliers is ...

Abstract: An approximate solution for a thick laminated simply supported circular cylindrical shell of revolution and shell panel subjected to asymmetric load has been obtained using elasticity approach. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approximate three-dimensional elasticity solution for an infinitely long, cross-ply laminated circular cylindrical shell panel with simply supported boundary conditions, subjected to an arbitrary ...

Abstract: An exact three-dimensional elasticity solution has been obtained for an infinitely long, thick transversely isotropic circular cylindrical shell panel, simply supported along the longitudinal edges and subjected to a radial ...
