Abstract Within the framework of the three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear elasticity, a refined asymptotic theory is developed for the nonlinear analysis of laminated circular cylindrical shells. In the present formulation, the basic equations including the nonlinear relations between the finite strains (Green strains) and displacements, the nonlinear equilibrium equations in terms of the Kirchhoff stress components and the generalized Hooke's law for a monoclinic elastic material are considered. After using proper nondimensionalization, asymptotic expansion, successive integration and then bringing the effects of transverse shear deformation into the leading-order level, we obtain recursive sets of the governing equations for various orders. It is… More >
