Abstract: A comparison between the linear and nonlinear seismic analysis of a thin unreinforced steel reactor containment vessel is presented. The effects of the nonlinear coupling between the low Fourier ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of clamped shallow spherical shells subjected to axisymmetric and nearly axisymmetric step-pressure loads is examined using a digital computer program for the geometrically ...

Abstract: This paper presents the equations for thin shell-of-revolution tanks containing an arbitrary level of fluid. The mass matrix can be used with any finite element or finite difference digital ...
