| Abstract | A spline finite strip procedure is developed for the
analysis of elastic thin curved plates with various boundary and interior support conditions. The displacement function of a
curved spline finite strip is expressed as the product o f cubic B-spline functions in the spanwise direction and conventional shape functions in the radial direction. The proposed strip is a
higher order model with one auxiliary (internal) nodal line; the
bending and in plane shape functions in the radial directions are fifth a nd second order polynomials respectively. Based on the minimum total potenti.al. energy principle as applied t o thin plate analysis, stiffness and force matrices of a typical strip
are derived in explicate form. The spline finite strip solutions
for a variety of structures are compared with those obtained
using the finite element procedure. The correlations are found to be good.. |
