Stability of Nonlinear Shells

On the Example of Spherical Shells

About this book

Stability of NonLinear Shells is a compilation of the author's work on analyzing the behaviour of spherical caps and related shell structures under various (axisymmetric) load systems. Differing from other texts on shells of revolution, it is one of the first attempts to deal with effects of multi-parameter load systems. This extension leads to the discovery of some new, hitherto unknown phenomena exhibited by these structures. In addition, the book presents a novel way to characterize properties of solutions of the governing equations for spherical caps - a classification anchored in a theory called reciprocal systems. The author has introduced a deformation map, a projection of multi-dimensional solutions to two-dimensional graphs, to enable analysts to gain insight into the physical meaning of the results obtained. Numerous examples illustrate the concepts introduced. This book also comes to grips with many misconceptions existing in engineering literature about the question of the stability of solutions.

Basic Equations for Geometrically Nonlinear Shells

Dov Shilkrut

1.1 Axisymmetric thermo-elastic deformation of shells of revolution

In this first section, we will consider the thermo-elastic axisymmetric deformation of geometrically nonlinear, rotationally orthotropic shells of revolution. The basic equations given below are based on E. Reissner’s well-known theory of non-shallow shells of revolution [see, e.g., Reissner, 1950]. The main assumptions of this theory are:
The shell is thin (h/R < < 1; h and R are the shell’s thickness and its smallest radius of curvature, respectively).
The thickness (divided everywhere in two by the middle-surface of the shell) is measured along the normal to the midsurface.
The strains are very small as compared to unity.
The displacements and angles of rotations of the normals to the midsurface are finite without any restrictions regarding th...
