A METHOD OF ANALYSIS FOR AXIALLY SYMMETRICAL SHELLS WITH CONSTANT MERIDIONAL CURVATURE
( (John Thompson Ltd., Group Research Laboratory Wolverhampton) )
This paper gives a theoretical method of analysis for shells of constant thickness forming a surface of revolution with axially symmetrical loading and with constant meridional curvature. The method of solution is to solve directly the basic differential equation governing the problem. The method is comprehensive and applies to a wide range of design problems, although in the present instance it is used to determine the stresses in pressurized corrugated ducting.
