Buckling of a Shallow Rectangular Bimetallic Shell Subjected to Outer Loads and Temperature and Supported at Four Opposite Points

We have formulated a geometric non-linear mathematical-physical model of the snap-through of the system of a thin-walled shallow bimetallic translation shell in a homogenous temperature field according to the theory of large displacements, moderate rotations, and small strains of the shell element....

Description
Summary:We have formulated a geometric non-linear mathematical-physical model of the snap-through of the system of a thin-walled shallow bimetallic translation shell in a homogenous temperature field according to the theory of large displacements, moderate rotations, and small strains of the shell element. The model enables the calculation of the geometric conditions, of shallow translation shells, due to the influences of temperature and mechanical loads. The results are based on the numeric solution of a non-linear system of partial differential equations with boundary conditions according to the finite difference method.
