Abstract: A numerical solution is presented for determining the stresses and displacements in complete and truncated conical shells. The method is based on the classical bending theory of thin axisymmetric shells. The governing ...

Abstract: An iterative numerical method is presented for the analysis of axisymmetric, isotropic general shells with varying wall rigidity. Shell elements of special geometric shapes, e.g., cylindrical, spherical, and conical shells, ...

Abstract: An iterative finite difference technique is presented for the analysis of axisymmetric conical shells with variable thickness. Temperature, surface pressure, and friction loadings due to supersonic flow are considered. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents an iterative finite-difference technique for the analysis of axisymmetric spherical shells with variable wall thickness. The formulation is based on thin elastic shell theory. One-dimensional finite-difference ...
