Stability analysis of cross-ply laminated shells of revolution using a curved axisymmetric shell finite element (original) (raw)

Thin-Walled Structures, 2011

Abstract

A curved axisymmetric shell finite element based on a consistent first-order shear deformable shell theory is developed for the linear stability analysis of cross-ply laminated shells of revolution under compressive loads. Finite element analysis results are presented for isotropic, orthotropic and cross-ply laminated shells of revolution in comparison with the analytical and numerical results found in the literature. These comparisons
