Abstract:
This study discards assumptions about displacement models and stress distribution and quotes the δ-function to establish the state equation for closed orthotropic cylindrical shells with two clamped edges. An identical exact solution is presented for the statics of thin, moderately thick, and thick laminated closed cylindrical shells with two clamped edges. Numerical results are obtained and compared with those calculated using SAP5.
