Static analysis of cross-ply laminated spherical shells using a new hyperbolic shear deformation theory

Abstract. Using a new hyperbolic shear deformation theory, higher-order closed-form solutions to the static bending analysis of laminated composite spherical shells are derived in this study. The current theory accurately predicts the distributions of transverse shear stresses across the thickness of the shell. The governing equations and related boundary conditions are obtained using the principle of virtual work. The Navier type semi-analytical closed-form solutions are obtained for the simply supported boundary conditions. The results obtained using the present theory are compared with previously published results to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the present hyperbolic shear deformation theory.
