Abstract

This paper is concerned with a numerical prediction of geometrically nonlinear behaviors of shallow (hyperbolic paraboloidal) shell models with clamped edges subjected to air pressures. The numerical analysis of the experimental models in the previous work [6] is carried out in detail with the use of higher order finite difference approximations by taking into account the effects of initial configurations of shell models. A considerably close agreement between almost all the numerical and experimental data except some local data verifies the accuracy and reliability of the present method and solution at least with respect to the benchmark load-deflection curves of the particular cases treated here.
