Geometrically nonlinear analysis of shell structures using flat DKT shell elements
geometricallynon00bato.pdf (3.100Mb)Abstract
This report describes nonlinear analysis o t arbitrary thin shell
structures subjected to static loads. The nonlinear analysis
includes pre and post-buckling behavior for any degree ot nonlinearity
due to large displacements and large rotations but
small strains. The formulation includes some recent developments
of piate and shell theories, automatic solution strategies for the
nonlinear equations; all adapted for implementation in mini and
micro-computers with virtual memory.

Variance reduction for quantile estimates in simulations via nonlinear controls
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1990-04); NPS-55-90-09Linear controls are a well known simple technique for achieving variance reduction in computer simulation. Unfortunately the effectiveness of a linear control depends upon the correlation between the statistic of interest ... -
Nonlinear transformation optics techniques in the design of counter-directed energy weapons shields for satellites
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2012-12);The purpose of this thesis is to examine the feasibility of using an emerging technique, called transformation optics (TO), in designing materials to be used as a defense against directed energy weapons for satellites. In ... -
Optimal design of nonlinear shock isolation for large, locally nonlinear structural systems
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998-12);The method of Time Domain Structural Synthesis is reviewed and examples of linear structural modification and sub-structure coupling are presented. The general formulation for both linear and nonlinear syntheses are compared ...
