Dn. Paliwal et al., STRESS-ANALYSIS OF ELLIPSOIDAL SHELL ON AN ELASTIC-FOUNDATION, International journal of pressure vessels and piping, 56(2), 1993, pp. 229-242
Bending analysis of a thin isotropic ellipsoidal shell of small ellipt
icity, resting on a Winkler type elastic foundation and subjected to u
niform internal pressure is carried out. Equations for the general she
ll of revolution obtained by an asymptotic approach are reduced to the
specific geometry of the ellipsoidal shell. Results are obtained for
the clamped edge condition by superimposing the deformations caused by
uniform pressure and edge loading of an ellipsoidal shell made of con
crete.
