Abstract: The boundary-value problems associated with the axisymmetrical, asymmetrical, and initial postbuckling behavior of the clamped shallow conical sandwich shell under a uniform pressure are developed ...

Abstract: The classical wave equation in spherical coordinates is expressed in terms of a residual potential applying the Residual Variable Method. This method essentially eliminates the second derivative ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a numerical study of the buckling and initial post-buckling behavior of clamped shallow spherical shells under axisymmetric ring loads. This behavior is studied ...

Abstract: The nonlinear mechanical behavior of fetal dura mater was tested experimentally and compared to two published nonlinear material strain energy functions, the Mooney-Rivlin and the Skalak, Tozeren, ...
