Ym. Lai et Yp. Wu, LINEAR AND NONLINEAR-ANALYSIS OF A SIMPLY-SUPPORTED COMBINED PARABOLICAL CYLINDER ROOF, Computers & structures, 53(5), 1994, pp. 1067-1072
The curved surface equation of a combined parabolical cylinder roof is
established by means of the step function and an inclined coordinate
system. The calculating formulas for linear and nonlinear analysis of
a combined parabolical cylinder roof are derived by utilizing the line
ar and nonlinear theory of shallow shells and Navier's method. Finally
, an illustrative example of the combined parabolical cylinder roof is
given and compared with the spherical shell roof and the four-pitch s
quare roof.
