Abstract: Exact tensor equations of equilibrium are derived for nonlinear membrane shell theory and small perturbations of pressurized membrane shells. Approximate equations (for sufficiently small initial ...

Abstract: With the use of J2 deformation theory, the stress-concentration factor at a circular hole in an infinite sheet of strain-hardening material subjected to equal biaxial tension at infinity is ...

Abstract: We consider the buckling of an ensemble of infinitely long columns, with initial deflections, resting on nonlinear elastic foundations. The initial deflections are assumed to be Gaussian stationary ...
