Abstract: | In this paper, basing on ref. [1] we improved and extended that which is concerned with a view of investigating the finite deflection equations of anisotropic laminated shallow shells subjected to static loads, dynamic loads and thermal loads. We have considered the most general bending-stretching couplings and the shear deformations in the thickness direction, and derived the equilibrium equations, boundary conditions and initial conditions. The differential equations expressed in terms of generalized displacements u0, 0 and are obtained. From them, we could solve the problems of stress analysis, deformation, stability and vibration. For some commonly encountered cases, we derived the simplified equations and methods. |
