Procedimiento Numéricos para Analise não Linear Geometrica de Cascas Laminadas

Abstract

Finite element procedures for the analysis of laminated shells in the pre and post-critical stages using a Total Lagrangian formulation are presented in this work. The performance of two strategies (Work Control Method and Generalized Displacement Control Method) for the solution of the nonlinear equilibrium equations are compared. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed techniques.
