Abstract
ABSTRACT This investigation deals with the nonlinear axisymmetric static and transient response of orthotropic annular shallow spherical caps with a free edge hole and with a rigid central mass, subjected to uniformly distributed load and a central load. The dynamic analogue of Marguerre equations, in terms of normal displacement w and stress function Ψ, are employed. An orthogonal point collocation method is used for spatial discretization and a Newmark-β scheme is used for time integration. Static load, step function load, and sinusoidal pulse load are considered. The influence of annular ratio on the response is studied for isotropic (β = 1) and orthotropic (β = 3) clamped caps, with a rise to thickness ratio of 1.5.
