Application of the R-Function Theory for the Bending Problem of Shallow Spherical Shells with a Dodecagon Domain

Article Preview

Abstract:

The R-function theory is applied to describe the dodecagon domain of shallow spherical shells on Winkler foundation, and it is also used to construct a quasi-Green’s function. The quasi-Green’s function satisfies the homogeneous boundary condition of the problem. Then the differential equation of the problem is reduced to two simultaneous Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by the Green’s formula. The singularity of the kernel of the integral equation is overcome by choosing a suitable form of the normalized boundary equation. A comparison with the ANSYS finite element solution shows a good agreement, and it demonstrates the feasibility and efficiency of the present method.
