Abstract

This article presents a geometrically nonlinear formulation of a two node axisymmetric shell element. The geometrically nonlinear formulation is based on the Total Lagrangian approach and the material behavior is assumed to be linearly elastic. The spherical arc-length procedure is used to obtain the pre-buckling, buckling and post-buckling deformation path. Some numerical examples are solved to demonstrate geometrically nonlinear behavior of elastic thin spherical shells subjected to various loads.
