Analysis of Thin Walled Wavy Shell of Monge Type Surface with Parabola and Sinusoid Curves by Variational-Difference Method

The paper is about the stress-strain state of the thin shell in the form of Monge surface with parabola generatrix and sinusoid guide. Coordinate system of the Monge surface is a system of coordinate lines of the principal curvatures of the surface. The variational-difference method is used for analysis. Variational-difference method allows using the geometric characteristics of the middle surface of the shell, which is important in the calculation of shells of complex shape. In the finite element method, which is often used in the shells of complex shape analysis, the equation of the middle surface of the shell is used only for finite element mesh. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2017.
