Vv. Vasilyev, MECHANICAL SWEEP METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE NONLINEAR DEFORMATION OF A CYLINDRICAL PANEL, Journal of applied mathematics and mechanics, 58(2), 1994, pp. 283-291
A mechanical sweep method is formulated. Using the calculation of the
non-linear deformation of a cylindrical panel as an example, an algori
thm is developed that transfers the boundary conditions expressed in t
erms of mechanical parameters over the elements into which the panel i
s decomposed. The validity of the algorithm is confirmed by the agreem
ent between numerical results and experimental data.
