Application of CASs to iterative solution of nonlinear analysis of shallowconical shell

This paper deals with the application of Computer Algebra Systems (CASs) - Maple V to the nonlinear analysis of shallow conical shells. It is shown th at the nonlinear equations of the shell to the nonlinear problem could be s olved by using the CASs method. Detailed high-order iterative solution expr essions and analytical results or the third iteration are given in CASs for ms. The numerical results show that the solutions of this paper contain oth er cases when the solutions were the second order iteration. The effects of various inner radius parameters have been investigated in detail. The resu lts of the third iterative expressions are obtained first. It has been show n that the adoption of the CASs method would be useful in nonlinear problem s. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
