Laminated Shells

A consistent higher-order shear deformation nonlinear theory is developed for shells of generic shape; taking geometric imperfections into account. The geometrically nonlinear strain-displacement relationships are derived retaining full nonlinear terms in the in-plane displacements; they are presented in curvilinear coordinates in a formulation ready to be implemented. Then, large-amplitude forced vibrations of a simply supported, laminated circular cylindrical shell are studied (i) by using the developed theory, and (ii) keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type. Results show that inaccurate results are obtained by keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type for vibration amplitudes of about two times the shell thickness for the studied case.

Radial Basis

The static and free vibration analysis of laminated shells is performed by radial basis functions collocation, according to Murakami’s zig-zag (ZZ) function (MZZF) theory . The MZZF theory accounts for through-the-thickness deformation, by considering a ZZ evolution of the transverse displacement with the thickness coordinate. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are obtained by Carrera’s Unified Formulation and further interpolated by collocation with radial basis functions.
