Nonlinear Dynamics of Curved-Surface Structures

Meilan Liu and Cho W. S. To

Abstract

This chapter is concerned with the nonlinear dynamic responses of structures of single curvature and of double curvatures, examples of which include cylindrical shells or panels, spherical caps, and hemispheres. Geometrical nonlinearity due to large deformation, material nonlinearity due to elastic-plastic material behaviour, and various loading situation including non-conservative pressure loads, will be examined.
