Abstract

This investigation deals with the static and dynamic axisymmetric buckling of elastic orthotropic thin shallow spherical shells with elastically restrained edge for inplane and rotational displacements. Governing equations in terms of normal displacementw and stress function ψ have been employed. Orthogonal point collocation method is used for spatial discretisation and Newmark-β scheme is used for time-marching. The uniformly distributed static and step function conservative loadings normal to the underformed surface are considered. The present results are in good agreement with the available results. The influence of orthotropicity parameter β and the support stiffness parameters on the static and dynamic buckling loads has been investigated.
