Finite Shell Solutions Techniques

This course covers the comprehensive understanding of approximate solutions for finite shells under arbitrary support conditions. For instance, learners explore the Ritz and Galerkin methods, widely used techniques for developing solutions. The course also introduces the extended Kantorovich method, a technique extensively used in higher engineering mathematics. Learners also delve into the concept of free vibration solutions for simply supported finite cylindrical shells and the development of levy type boundary conditions. The course further explains the displacement-based approach, the concept of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and the mixed formulation technique. By the end of the course, learners will have a solid understanding of various techniques used to solve shell equations.
