Popis: | We study the membrane-dominated deformation state of a thin shell, the mid-surface of which is located on a surface of revolution with positive principal radii of curvature. The lateral shape of the shell is assumed to be that of a curvilinear polygon. The shell is loaded by a smooth surface traction acting on its outer surface and rigidly supported throughout its edge. Proceeding from the 3D elastic model, an asymptotic model is constructed to describe the limit behavior of the shell as the thickness tends to zero. The limit model is referred to as membrane theory. A convergence result relating the 3D model and the asymptotic model is proved and the mathematical characteristics of the asymptotic theory are analyzed. Energy methods are used throughout the work. |
