The basic assumptions that are assumed by rambshell for the shell analysis are the following:
![]() |
|
![]() |
|
The Reissner-Mindlin hypotesis:
From these assumptions it is possible to extract the following equations:
![]() |
|
where
![]() |
|
![]() |
|
![]() |
|
![]() |
|
where α is the coefficient to correct the transversal tangential work.
From here it is possible to define the strengths on the shell, which are defined as:
![]() |
|
where t is the thickness of the shell.
