J. Jiang et Md. Olson, NONLINEAR-ANALYSIS OF ORTHOGONALLY STIFFENED CYLINDRICAL-SHELLS BY A SUPER ELEMENT APPROACH, Finite elements in analysis and design, 18(1-3), 1994, pp. 99-110
The super finite element method is extended to the nonlinear static an
d dynamic analysis of orthogonally stiffened cylindrical shells. Both
geometric and material nonlinearities are included and the temporal eq
uations are solved by the implicit Newmark-beta method with Newton-Rap
hson subiterations. The new formulation has been tested in various app
lications and a few illustrative examples are presented.
