Abstract

Using a semi-analytical method, the nonlinear stability of a spherical shallow shell under centrally distributed and concentrated loads is investigated in this paper. The longer manual calculation has been avoided when finding the approximate solution, and the P-Wm characteristic relation can be given analytically.
