...Hossien Estiri, PhD; Amir Baghban, PhD Shell analysis is a complex process. So far, many equations and theories have been proposed. With the increasing processing power of computers, numerical and approximate solutions were developed. The dynamic relaxation scheme is one of these methods...

...Edward A. W. Maunder, MA, DIC, PhD, CEng, FIStructE; Bassam A. Izzuddin, BEng, MSc, DIC, PhD, CEng, FIStructE This paper reconsiders the finite-element modelling of the linear elastic behaviour of plates and shells as governed by the Reissner–Mindlin first-order shear deformation theory. Particular...

..., leading potentially to shear, membrane and distortion locking, which are the principal locking phenomena encountered in curved shell elements, arising for small shell thickness, curved shapes and the employment of isoparametric mapping for distorted element shapes, respectively. In the adopted formulation...

... of superficial wave heights by the Iranian practical code. In the present paper, the behaviour of cylindrical concrete tanks under seismic excitation is studied using the finite element analysis. The shell and internal liquid are completely meshed by convenient elements implemented in Ansys 5·4 software...
