Nonlinear stability of sensor elastic element — corrugated shallow spherical shell in coupled multi-field is studied. With the equivalent orthotropic parameter obtained by the author, the corrugated shallow spherical shell is considered as an orthotropic shallow spherical shell, and geometrical nonlinearity and transverse shear deformation are taken into account. Nonlinear governing equations are obtained. The critical load is obtained using a modified iteration method. The effect of temperature variation and shear rigidity variation on stability is analyzed.
The nonlinear thermal buckling of symmetrically laminated cylindrically orthotropic shallow spherical shell under temperature field and uniform pressure including transverse shear is studied.Also the analytic formulas for determining the critical buckling loads under different temperature fields are obtained by using the modified iteration method.The effect of transverse shear deformation and different temperature fields on critical buckling load is discussed.
