FUNDAMENTAL-SOLUTION METHODS IN STRESS-CONCENTRATION PROBLEMS FOR THIN ELASTIC SHELLS

摘要

This paper deals with fundamental-solution methods applied to stress-concentration problems for thin elastic shells. Publications concerned with the relevant division of the theory of plates and shells are reviewed. The theories behind the methods are described, and specific results for static and dynamic concentrated loads are presented. The capabilities of the methods are illustrated by fracture problems for orthotropic shells with notches and holes under mechanical loading and for isotropic shells with notches under thermal loading.
