Solution of asymmetric problem of thick spherical shell by finite spherical layer method
Abstract
The finite spherical layer method estalished in reference [ 1 ] for solving axisymmetric problems of thick spherical shell is extended to solve asymmetric problems in this paper. Radial, meridional and circumferential displacements are taken as basic unknowns. The stiffness matrices and load vectors can be obtained from the principle of minimum potential energy. Examples show that the method given in this paper is efficient.
