Abstract: The stress analysis of a laminated anisotropic ellipsoidal membrane shell of revolution is considered. A system of equations which is appropriate to the elastic behavior of anisotropic membrane ...

Abstract: The validity and range of applicability of a specialized shell theory for nonhomogeneous, anisotropic elastic materials is tested by comparison with a uniformly valid theory. The comparison is ...

Abstract: The present paper discusses the derivation and application of the membrane theory equations governing the small deformation of laminated, anisotropic, elastic shells of revolution. The equations ...
