FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF LAMINATED SHELLS OF REVOLUTION WITH LAMINATED STIFFENERS

A finite element analysis of orthogonally stiffened shells of revolution has been presented by combining a recently proposed shell of revolution element and a curved beam element. These two elements are isoparametric elements in which the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia have been taken into account. They are meant to be used for arbitrarily laminated structures and are based on the higher-order theories presented recently by bhimaraddi for plates, shells and beams as found in a variety of structures such as bridges, pressure vessels and buildings.
