INFLUENCE COEFFICIENTS FOR SPHERICAL SHELLS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4157482
The differential equations governing the symmetric bending of spherical shells of constant thickness subjected to edge loads are transformed into a form suitable for asymptotic integration. The asymptotic solutions are used to obtain expressions for the influence coefficients of both a spherical cap and the complementary pontion of the sphere. The influence coefficients are valid for either shallow or nonshallow spherical shells provided the shells are sufficiently thin. The coefficients are tabulated. (auth)
