Through derivation of the consistent tangent stiffness matrix and internal force vector, the corotational nonlinear finite element equations were established.

Three typical case studies, i.e., the slit annular thin plate, top opened hemispherical shell and cylindrical shell, validated the accuracy of the formulation established in this paper.展开更多

The formulations are mainly based upon the idea of perturba_ tion that the nodal displacement vector and the nodal force vector of each finite element are expanded by taking root_mean_square value of circumferential strains of the shells as a perturbation parameter. The load steps and the iteration times are not as arbitrary and unpredictable as in usual nonlinear analysis. Instead, there are certain relations between the load steps and the displacement increments, and no need of iteration for each load step. Besides, in the formulations, the shell is idealized into a series of conical frusta for the convenience of practice, Sander's nonlinear geometric equations of moderate small rotation are used, and the shell made of more than one material ply is also considered.展开更多
