Abstract

A problem of practical interest for nonlinear axisymmetrical stability of a clamped truncated shallow spherical shell with a nondeformable rigid body under a uniformly distributed load is studied in this paper. By using modified iteration method, some important analytic results are obtained and the corresponding numerical results are given in figures.
