ON THE STEADY CREEP OF SHELLS. Technical Report No. 5

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4226765
A modified creep law which is particularly suitable for the investigation of rotationally symmetrical deformations of shells is discussed in detail. It is then applied to establish the creep behavior of cylindrical sandwich shells in terms of the stress resultants and deflection rates. The creep deflections of simply supported shells under the hydrostatic pressure are discussed as an example. Finite deflections of a solid circular membrane under uniform pressure are also discussed as further examples of the modified creep law. (auth)
