Geometrically Non-linear Analysis of Composite Cylindrical Shells and Shallow Sphere Shell

At present, the plate shell structure is broadly used in the engineering field, and the finite element method is the main method to analysis of the structural design. Because many variables are used in the finite element method and the computation is complex, this paper used Bezier surface patches as the admissible displacement fields to represent the shell's middle surface displacement and rotation components, the deformation of the composite material cylindrical shell and shallow sphere shell under the loads are studied with a Semi-analytical procedure. The results show that semi-analytical and analytical procedure are in good agreement with the results of the analysis, it can be applied in the project.
