A consistent higher-order shear deformation nonlinear theory is developed for shells of generic shape; taking geometric imperfections into account. The geometrically nonlinear strain-displacement relationships are derived retaining full nonlinear terms in the in-plane displacements; they are presented in curvilinear coordinates in a formulation ready to be implemented. Then, large-amplitude forced vibrations of a simply supported, laminated circular cylindrical shell are studied (i) by using the developed theory, and (ii) keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type. Results show that inaccurate results are obtained by keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type for vibration amplitudes of about two times the shell thickness for the studied case.

This article investigates geometrically nonlinear and linear analysis of multilayered shells with integrated piezoelectric materials. An efficient nonlinear shell element is developed to solve piezoelastic response of laminated structure with embedded piezoelectric actuators and sensors. A modified first-order shear deformation theory is introduced in the present method to remove the shear correction factor and improve the accuracy of transverse shear stresses. The electric potential is assumed to be a linear function through the thickness of each active sub-layer. Several numerical tests for different piezolaminated geometries are conducted to highlight the reliability and efficiency of the proposed implementation in linear and geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis.

In the present work, the doubly curved spherical and cylindrical laminated composite shells are modelled and analysed in the framework of non-polynomial axiomatic approach. The inverse hyperbolic shear deformation theory originally developed for the laminated composite plates is extended to model the deformation characteristics of laminated composite shells. The mathematical formulation is developed under the assumption of linear structural kinematics and linear-elastic-orthotropic material behaviour. The governing equations of the model are obtained using the principle of virtual work and solved in exact manner for simply supported boundary conditions following the Navier solution methodology. The bending response of thick and thin spherical and cylindrical shells subjected to different types of transverse loads such as point load, uniform load and sinusoidal load is analysed in the framework of developed methodology. The obtained results due to inverse hyperbolic shear deformation theory are compared with other shell theories and on the basis of this comparison, the validity and applicability of the inverse hyperbolic shear deformation theory for doubly curved spherical and cylindrical shells is ensured.
