Abstract
Modern calculations of layered plates and shells in a three-dimensional formulation are based on a technique where the distribution of the desired functions over the thickness of a structure is sought by the method of discrete orthogonalization. In this article, based on the approaches developed by the authors, the thermally stressed state of layered composite shallow shells with a rigidly fixed lower surface is analyzed. The distribution of the desired functions over the thickness of the structure is found based on the exact analytical solution of the system of differential equations. An approach to the study of the thermal stress state of shallow composite shells is considered, and an analytical model is constructed for calculating the thermal stress state of shallow shells on a rigid base with a sliding contact of the layers. Currently, this is a very urgent task when calculating the pavement of bridges. A feature of this approach is the assignment of the desired functions to the outer surfaces of the layers, which allows one to break the layer into sublayers, reducing the approximation error to almost zero. Using the model in question, an analysis of flat layered composite shells on a rigid base with a sliding contact of the layers under the influence of temperature loading was carried out. To build a spatial model, a load option is selected with temperature loads (according to the sine law) and boundary conditions (Navier), which lead to the distribution of the desired functions in terms of a plate with trigonometric harmonics of the Fourier series. A polynomial approximation of the desired functions by thickness is involved. Using the model in question, an analysis of flat layered composite shells on a rigid base with a sliding contact of the layers under the influence of temperature loading was carried out. The considered example showed that the proposed model provides sufficient accuracy in the calculations of layered shallow shells when considering each layer within one sublayer. The proposed approach can be used as a reference method for testing applied approaches in calculating various stress states of layered flat composite shells.
