Deformation of varying thickness of conical shells subjected to axisymmetric loading with various end conditions
B.S.K. Sundarasivarao,N. Ganesan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a conical shell subjected to uniform internal pressure is analyzed by the finite element displacement method and it is shown that by properly varying the thickness the deflections and stresses can be brought down considerably.
