Inter-laminar stress recovery procedure for doubly-curved, singly-curved, revolution shells with variable radii of curvature and plates using generalized higher-order theories and the local GDQ method

ABSTRACT The stress and strain recovery procedure already applied for solving doubly-curved structures with variable radii of curvature has been considered in this article using an equivalent single layer approach based on a general higher-order formulation, in which the thickness functions of the in-plane displacement parameters are defined independently from the ones through the shell thickness. The theoretical model considers composite structures in such a way that employs the differential geometry for the description of doubly-curved, singly-curved, revolution with variable radii of curvature and degenerate shells. Furthermore, the structures at hand can be laminated composites made of a general stacking sequence of orthotropic generically oriented plies. The governing static equilibrium equations are solved in their strong form using the local generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. Moreover the generalized integral quadrature (GIQ) is exploited for the evaluation of the stress resultants of the model under study. Several numerical applications are presented and the local GDQ results are compared with finite element method (FEM) commercial codes.
