CALCULATION OF FLAT SHELLS BY THE BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHOD

Abstract

This article describes the iterative process of solving the problem of the stress-strain state of a long flexible cylindrical panel. Stress-strain state and the study of the stability of flat shells taking into account the physical, mechanical properties of the material, the process of deformation change. It is based on sequential approximation methods and the boundary element method (MGE). The results of algorithmic weighting are presented in the form of a table showing what value each band represents. The equations are determined by solving twelve unknown values of functions at the ends of the segment. Linear problems of elasticity theory and plate theory fundamental solutions have a simple form, so the method is widely used here. For flat shells, the matrix of fundamental solutions is determined by complex volumetric expressions, and for flat shells - by special functions. Therefore, there is little research on solving problems in the theory of flat shells by the boundary element method. In this regard, an urgent topic of research is the development of methods of boundary integral equations for solving linear and nonlinear problems in the theory of flat shells based on the application of fundamental solutions defined by simple analytical expressions. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the development of a methodology for assessing the reliability of thin-walled spatial structures using the boundary element method.
