Análise de cascas cilíndricas axissimétricas submetidas a solicitações mecânicas e térmicas pelo método dos elementos finitos

Abstract

The objective of this work is to perform a numerical analysis of axisymmetric cylindrical shells submitted to mechanical and thermal loads. The analysis was made using the Finite Element Method (FEM) with the Principle of Virtual Work used as energy functional. To perform the numerical calculations, a code was developed in Fortran language. The analytical formulation of the problem was also shown for comparison. The method used was validated by solving examples in which the structure is subjected to mechanical and thermal loads.
