Abstract: A consistent treatment of the extensional deformations of thin circular rings subjected to general distributed and concentrated loadings is presented. Coupled Euler equations and consistent boundary ...

Abstract: Approximate closed-form solutions are obtained for the static stress and deformation as well as the stability of an orthotropic layered shell of revolution with properties which vary along the ...

Abstract: A method is presented for the finite-element analysis of curved planar structures consisting of a combination of thin straight and curved beam elements. In the analysis both static and dynamic ...
