TLDR
In this paper, the effect of curvature and polar orthotropy on nonlinear dynamic behavior of a shallow spherical shell is investigated and numerical solutions based on an assumed two-term modeshape for the axisymmetric, forced (uniform pressure) and free vibrations are obtained for different shell geometries and orthotropic material constants.

Non-linear behaviour of free-edge shallow spherical shells: Effect of the geometry

TL;DR: In this paper, nonlinear vibrations of free-edge shallow spherical shells are investigated, in order to predict the trend of nonlinearity (hardening/softening behaviour) for each mode of the shell, as a function of its geometry.

Dynamic buckling of orthotropic shallow spherical shells

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic axisymmetric behavior of clamped orthotropic shallow spherical shell subjected to instantaneously applied uniform step-pressure load of infinite duration, is investigated, and the resulting modal equations, two in number, are numerically integrated using Runge-Kutta method, and hence the load-deflection curves are plotted.

Large amplitude free vibration behavior of doubly curved shallow open shells with simply-supported edges

TL;DR: In this article, the von Karman type nonlinear strains are incorporated into the first-order shear deformation theory for symmetrically laminated moderately thick doubly curved shallow open shells with simply-supported sides.

Normal form theory and nonlinear normal modes: Theoretical settings and applications

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between normal form theory and nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) is discussed for the specific case of vibratory systems displaying polynomial type nonlinearities, and the development of reduced-order models based on NNMs expressed asymptotically with the formalism of real normal form is deeply presented.

Unsymmetrical Buckling of Thin Shallow Spherical Shells

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical study of buckling of clamped shallow spherical shells under uniform external pressure is presented, and it is shown that the shell deforms axisymmetrically under sufficiently low pressure.

Large amplitude vibration of buckled beams and rectangular plates

TL;DR: For the case of similar flows in the plane of symmetry of an inclined axisymmetric body with zero streamwise pressure gradient and insulated walls, the following conditions prevail: e\ = 1, e» = r(x), KI = 0, ft = 0 and dgr/d^ = 0.
