Summary

Interaction of clamped orthotropic shallow spherical shells with nonlinear elastic foundations is studied under transient loads. The effect of softening and hardening foundation nonlinearities on the response behaviour of shallow shells has been investigated. Detailed analysis depicting the influence of hardening type foundation nonlinearity on the maximum response of orthotropic shallow spherical shells has been conducted. The numerical results suggest that for the shell-foundation interaction problems undergoing moderately large deformations, the nonlinear model for the foundation must be considered.

übersicht

Es wird die Wechselwirkung eingespannter orthotroper, leicht gekrümmter Schalen mit nichtnichtlinearer elastischer Bettung unter transienter Belastung behandelt. Dabei wird der Einfluß der erweichenden und der verfestigenden Nichtlinearität der Bettung auf das Antwortverhalten der schwach gekrümmten Schalen untersucht. Speziell wird der Einfluß der verfestigenden Bettungsnichtlinearität auf extreme Antwortverhalten von orthotropen, schwach sphärischen Schalen im einzelnen analysiert. Die numerischen Ergebnisse machen deutlich, daß bei Wechselwirkungsproblemen von Schale und Bettung mit mäßig großen Deformationen das nichtlineare Modell der Einbettung betrachtet werden muß.
