Deformed state calculation of composite bar and shell-type constructions under force and thermal actions

Composition bar and shell-type constructions of general form are investigated in the paper aiming at the method development for the calculation of the deformed state of constructions with the account of the specificity of material properties and free systems. As a result new finite elements of a shell and bar have been developed. The problem of the deformation of a free bar system under the thermal action has been solved. The methodology developed is being used for design and test calculations, for the forecasting of the behaviour of bar and shell-type constructions under complex loading. The calculation methodologies and programs have been introduced into operationAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
