Abstract In the present manuscript, a Layer-Wise (LW) generalized model is proposed for the linear static analysis of doublycurved shells constrained with general boundary conditions under the influence of concentrated and surface loads.
The unknown field variable is modelled employing polynomials of various orders, each of them defined within
each layer of the structure. As a particular case of the LW model, an Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) formulation is
derived too. Different approaches are outlined for the assessment of external forces, as well as for non-conventional
constraints. The doubly-curved shell is composed by superimposed generally anisotropic… More >
