Procedures for the Verification and Validation of Working Models for Structural Shells

摘要

Shell-like structures are viewed as fully three-dimensional solid bodies that allow the imposition of restrictions on the transverse variation of displacement vector components in certain regions. An important practical problem is to select a simplified mathematical model for a particular application so that the simplifications do not affect the data of interest significantly. This involves application of expert knowledge aided by virtual and/or physical experimentation. An example is presented.
