2 2 P. H. SHAH AND R. C. BATRA Rssnr dvlopd a thory wth ach fac sht modld as a mmbran and th cor as a 3-dmnsonal (3D) contnuum. For lamnats wth a snusodal prssur of ampltud q appld on th top surfac, Vl and Batra [8] found that th avrag transvrs normal stran nar a tracton fr dg s of th ordr of q/e, whr E quals Young s modulus n th fbr drcton. Th frst-ordr shar dformaton thory (FSDT) assums constant transvrs shar strans across th shll thcknss, and an approprat shar corrcton factor s usd to account for nonunform through-th-thcknss shar strans. Hghr-ordr shar dformaton thors [9 13] do not rqur a shar corrcton factor. Rddy and Lu [11], LwandLm[12], and Xao-Png [13] dvlopd thrd-ordr shar dformaton thors (TSDTs) for analyzng shlls dformatons n whch th nplan dsplacmnts ar xprssd as complt polynomals of dgr thr and th transvrs normal dsplacmnt s assumd to b constant across th shll thcknss. Ths lads to a parabolc dstrbuton of transvrs shar strans through th thcknss and zro transvrs normal stran. Th numbr of ndpndnt unknowns nvolvd n ths thors s rducd to that for th FSDT by rqurng that transvrs shar strsss vansh on th major surfacs of th shll. Xo-Png [13] ncorporatd Lov s frst-ordr gomtrc approxmaton and Donnll s smplfcaton. Shll thors accountng for transvrs shar and normal dformatons hav bn dvlopd, among othrs, by Hldbrand t al. [14], Rssnr[15], and Whtny and Sun [16, 17].

For analyzng dformatons of lamnatd shlls, thr an quvalnt sngl layr (ESL) or a layr-ws (LW) shll thory s oftn mployd. In th ESL (LW) thory th numbr of unknownssthsamas(numbroflayrstms)thatfora monolthc shll. Thus, a LW thory s computatonally mor xpnsv than an ESL thory. Howvr, n an ESL thory th transvrs normal and th transvrs shar strsss obtand from consttutv rlatons and th shll thory dsplacmnts ar gnrally not accurat and may not satsfy tracton contnuty condtons across ntrfacs btwn adjonng layrs and tracton boundary condtons on major surfacs. Ths strsss computd usng a strss rcovry schm (SRS), whch usually nvolvs ntgraton of th 3D qulbrum quatons along th thcknss drcton by startng from a major surfac of th shll, ar rasonably accurat. Dffrnt ESL and LW thn and thck plat/shll thors hav bn rvwd by Carrra [22], Ambartsuman [23, 24], Rddy[25], Rddy and Arcnga [26], and apana [27]. Th SRS dscrbd abov s a on-stp mthod [28] and has bn mployd by Pagano [29] and Rohwr [30], among othrs. It s possbl that tractons on th top surfac computd usng ths schm startng from th bottom surfac do not satsfy th appld surfac tractons thr. Ths dffrnc can b usd to masur rror n th numrcal soluton. Tornabn t al. [31] mployd th Murakam functon for satsfyng th tracton boundary condton on th top surfac. Th two-stp mthods, such as thos mployd by Noor t al. [32, 33] and Malk and Noor [34], us tratv tchnqus to comput th transvrs strsss and satsfy tracton boundary condtons at both major surfacs. Rohwr t al. [28] and ant and Swamnathan [35] hav rvwd dffrnt mthods to stmat ntrlamnar transvrs strsss. Th stat-spac approach usd by Tarn and Wang [36] s a on-stp mthod and smultanously ntgrats along th thcknss drcton th thr dsplacmnt componntsandththrtransvrsstrsss. Vdol and Batra [37] and Batra and Vdol [38] dducd a varabl ordr plat thory for pzolctrc and orthotropc lnar lastc plats n whch th ordr up to whch trms n th thcknss coordnat, z, ar kpt s a varabl. Thy calld th plat thory mxd ( compatbl ) whn th consttutv rlatons for th plat ar drvd from th Hllngr Prang Rssnr prncpl (from th plat thory dsplacmnt fld and th consttutv rlaton of th 3D lnar lastcty thory [LET]). Th mxd thory xactly satsfs tracton boundary condtons spcfd on th two major surfacs of th plat. Batra and Vdol [38] showd that for a thck bam rsults from th mxd plat thory ar n bttr agrmnt wth th LET solutons than thos from th compatbl thory of th sam ordr. Qan t al. [39] and Batra and Amman [40] havusdthcompatbl(mxd) thory of dffrnt ordrs to show that n-plan mods of fr vbraton n a thck plat ar wll capturd whn = 3. Qan and Batra [41] hav xtndd th compatbl thory to analyz thrmo-lastc dformatons. Batra and Xao [42] hav shown that a LW compatbl thrd-ordr shar and normal dformaton thory (TSNDT) gvs strsss n curvd lamnatd bams that agr wll wth thos obtand by usng th LET. Usng th TSNDT, Shah and Batra [43] found that for a monolthc clampd squar plat loadd wth a unform normal tracton on a major surfac, th stran nrgy of transvrs shar dformatonscanbabout7%(20%)ofthtotalstrannrgyofdformatons for aspct rato (.., lngth/thcknss) of 20 (10), and can b as hgh as 50% for an aspct rato of 5. In ordr to optmally dsgn a doubly curvd shll for a gvn applcaton, t s mportant to undrstand how gomtrc paramtrs (.g., rato of two prncpal rad, rato of th maxmum prncpal radus of curvatur to th curvlnar lngth, curvlnar lngth/thcknss) affct ts dformatons. Sh t al. [44] nvstgatd th ffct of th rato of two prncpal rad of curvatur on frquncs of fr vbraton of monolthc sotropc doubly curvd shlls usng th LFAT. Thy found that natural frquncs ncras wth an ncras n th R 2 /R 1 rato for a gvn R 2 /l 2 rato and dcras wth an ncras n th R 2 /l 2 rato for a gvn R 2 /R 1 rato, whr l 1 and l 2 ar th two planform lngths. Fan and Zhang [45],Wu t al.[46],and Huang t al.[47] computd analytcal solutons for statc dformatons of lamnatddoublycurvdshllsandrportdthcntrodaldsplacmnt of shlls for dffrnt curvaturs.

H found that frquncs of strtchng mods ar ndpndnt of th shll thcknss but thos of bndng mods ncras wth th thcknss, and th frquncy of th frst strtchng mod s rlatvly hgh compard to that of th frst bndng mod. W could not fnd works dscrbng th ffct of gomtrc paramtrs on stran nrgs of varous dformaton mods for doubly curvd shlls dformd undr xtrnal loads. Ths knowldg can hlp structural dsgnrs dntfy sgnfcant dformaton mods for gvn loadng condtons and optmz gomtrc paramtrs of th shll.

For lamnatd shlls, w us an ESL and on-stp SRS to comput strsss. Frst, w study for varous valus of lngth/thcknss and (radus of curvatur)/lngth ratos dformatons of doubly curvd lamnatd shlls and compar rsults from th TSNDT wth th corrspondng analytcal 3D LET solutons avalabl n th ltratur. Nxt, w study thr xampl problms for a monolthc doubly curvd shll subjctd to () a unform normal tracton on on of th major surfacs, () combnd normal and tangntal tractons on a major surfac, and () qual and oppost tangntal tractons on th two major surfacs. For most of ths problms w dlnat ffcts of gomtrc paramtrs on strsss, and stran nrgs of bndng and strtchng dformatons and of n-plan and transvrs dformatons, and compar prdctons from th TSNDT wth thos from th solutons of th 3D LET quatons. 2.
