Jb. Greenberg et al., THEORY OF BENDING AND STRETCHING OF ORTHOTROPIC SANDWICH CYLINDRICAL-SHELLS WITH DISSIMILAR FACINGS, Composites engineering, 4(6), 1994, pp. 591-604
In this paper Reissner's theory for small bending and stretching of sa
ndwich-type shells is extended, for the particular case of cylindrical
shells, to circumstances in which the facing materials may be of diff
erent orthotropies and/or different thicknesses. Some numerical exampl
es are given for the case of a semi-infinite shell acted on by an edge
bending moment and shear force.
