Abstract: Application of special isoparametric finite elements is presented for the elastic-plastic analysis of shells of revolution. General isoparametric elements are selected which, in the form of a ...

Abstract: A study is made of the effect of strain rate on the strength of St 52‐3N mild steel, commonly used as deck plating in offshore structures. Stress‐strain curves are obtained in both tension and torsional shear at room ...
