Stress Analysis of Biconvex Laminated Orthotropic Shells that are Shallow to a Variable Degree

International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The stress–strain state of biconvex laminated orthotropic shells is analyzed against the degree of shallowness and the parameters of orthotropy. Numerical values of deflections and stresses are obtained by solving two-dimensional boundary-value problems using spline-functions and the discrete-orthogonalization method. The effect of the rise of shells on the displacement and stress fields is analyzed for different parameters of orthotropy
