Hi everyone,
I am currently working on the buckling of concrete shells. More precisely, I am trying to analyze already built shells, which means that I know what are the actual geometric imperfections.
I know that the typical procedure for a buckling analysis is to start with a linear...
Thank you for the replies.
FEA way - I already did simpler tests as you suggested, but I struggled to make some sense of it. However, I did not look at the analytical solution, which is indeed where I should have started, thank you for the advice! Something interesting though is that I...
Hi everyone,
First post here, so let me know if anything in this post is not as it should be.
I am currently analyzing a thin-shell structure using ANSYS with 2 layers of SOLSH190 (solid-shell) elements as shown below. The thin-shell has the four circular corners that are fully fixed, and is...
