International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A presentation is made of the numerical results obtained in a stress–strain analysis of thin and nonthin orthotropic shells with due regard for the physical nonlinearity and small and nonsmall shear stiffness of composites. A spherical shell with a circular hole is used as an example to analyze how the above-mentioned factors affect the distribution of stresses and strains depending on the shell thickness for adopted deformation models (the Kirchhoff–Love and Timoshenko hypotheses). Generalized conclusions are drawn from which it is possible to decide which of the composite properties and shell models should be given more priority.
