Abstract
In this paper, a finite strip model based on displacement
compatibility for the analysis of axisymmetric thin shells.
The shells is divided by nodal surfaces normal to the axis into
a series of elements. The representation of geometry and
displacements is performed by means of algebraic shape
functions, whereas a Fourier expansion is employed for
displacements in the circumferential direction. The analysis is
capable of incorporating the effects of discrete supports at the
base or at any other level.
