A finite difference based finite strip method for the analysis of translational shell structures

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A numerical, method for the analysis of translational shell structures is presented. The finite strip concept is utilised together with finite difference approximations to the differential, equations along nodal, tines. Numerical examples include open and closed translational shells with various end conditions and continuity over intermediate supports.
