An Analytical Solution to Large Deflection Equations of Slmply-Supported Rectangular Hyperboloidal Shallow Shells of Orthotropic Composites

Based on the product rule of the Fourier series and some relevant results inreferences[1,2], a method on solving the large deflection equations of plates and shells by means of the fourier series is proposed in the present paper.Applying this method,we derive a type solution to the Navier's solution of the nonlinear differential equations of the rectangular hyperboloidal shallow shells of the orthotropic composites simply supported.This solution is suitable for plates and shells with large deflection or small deflection whether it is isotropic or orthotropic.Their data processing results are correlative with those found in the classical examples and from the experiments.
