Abstract
The paper reports on a theoretical and an experimental
investigation into the buckling and vibration of prolate hemi-ellipsoidal
tube-stiffened domes under external water pressure.
The theoretical analyses were via the finite element method,
where both the fluid and the structure were modelled with finite
elements. The dome was modelled with a varying meridional
curvature element and with eight displacement degrees of freedom
and the water was modelled by solid annular elements where each
had eight element pressure degrees of freedom in its cross-section.
Comparison was good between experiment and theory.
