Analysis of Laminated Anisotropic Cylindrical Shell by Chebyshev Collocation Method

Abstract

The governing equations of a laminated anisotropic cylindrical shell problem are a system of partial differential equations. The boundary conditions will complicate the problem. Thus, it is hard to handle the governing equations in the form of functions of independent variables. Herein, Chebyshev collocation method is proposed to achieve the exact solution theoretically of such a difficult problem. Finally, two examples with numerical results are presented. The preciseness and efficiency of the proposed Chebyshev collocation method for laminated anisotropic shell problem are highlighted.
