摘要
A finite triangular facet element for the analysis of doubly curved thin shells is presented, the principal feature of which is a particularly simple resolution process. A simple iterative design procedure is developed, the optimality criteria of which are the elimination of bending and the minimization of the surface integral of the membrane stresses. The procedure is used to obtain numerical predictions of the optimal shapes for constant thickness arches and shells that are in good agreement with those expected. Finally, the procedure is extended to provide an optimal shape for a uniform thickness arch dam and an iterative procedure used to provide an optimal thickness variation. © 1979.
