Spherical Shells with Nonuniform Rigidity

by Jianping Pei, Ningxia Architecture Design Inst, Yinchuan, China,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Mechanics Computing in 1990's and Beyond

Abstract:

An iterative finite difference technique is presented in this paper for the analysis of axisymmetric spherical shells with variable wall thickness. The proposed method of solution is based on the classical thin shell theory, and it overcomes the limitations of existing analytical techniques.
