Title: Elastic Theory of hypar Shells
Author(s): Placido Cicala
Publication: Journal Proceedings
Volume: 59
Issue: 1
Appears on pages(s): 85-102
Keywords: none
DOI: 10.14359/7918

Abstract: Stresses and deflections in shells with hyperbolic paraboloidical (hypar) midsurfaces and straight sides under arbitrary loading and restraint conditions are represented by a combination of (a) a membrane solution, (b) an inextensional solution, and (c) a series of strip solutions. The fundamental stress systems are presented and two sample problems illustrate the application of this concept.
