On 3-dimensional non-axisymmetrical deformation analyses for finite hollow circular cylinders

In this paper, 3-dimensional non-axisymmetrical deformation analyses for finite hollow circular cylinders have been carried out by Pickett's double series expansion method^[1]. Through expanding the displacement potentials as the sum of fourier series and Fourier-Bessel series, we could express the coefficients of one series by those of another under certain boundary conditions. Thus, a set of linear algebraic equations were derived. Solving these equations, we could obtain the solutions of the problems. Numerical examples have been given to show that the method presented here is workable for practical applications.
