Superposition Method and Special Tables for the Analysis of Axially Symmetric Cylindrical Shell Walls

摘要

In this paper, comparative analyses results of the methods are used for analysis of axially symmetric cylindrical shell wall were presented. The approaches used in the analyses are superposition method (SPM) and special tables (TA) which are created based on classical shell theory for the cylindrical wall analyses. The superposition method is mainly developed for the analyses of beams on elastic foundation and it can be adapt to cylindrical wall by using similarity of beams and cylindrical walls. In this study, six different cases were conducted for both approaches and analyses results were compared. According to analyses results, the difference between approaches are very small and results are compatible.
