Consider a shallow shell panel, hinged on straight edges and free on curved edges, as shown in Fig. 8.3.11. Use the geometric and material parameters from Eq. (1) of Example 8.3.6, except for the shell thickness, which is h = 1.0 in. Assume a point load P at the center of the panel with a load step of ∆P = −100 lbs (for a total of 12 load steps) and use various meshes in the quadrant of the panel with full integration for all stiffness coefficients.
