Abstract

Numerical analysis of ultimate behaviour of thin bionics shells is treated in present paper. Interactive conditions in resonance and stability ultimate response are considered. Numerical treatment of nonlinear problems appearing is made using the updated Lagrangian formulation of motion. Each step of the iteration approaches the solution of linear problem and the feasibility of parallel processing FETM-technique with adaptive mesh refinement and substructuring for the analysis of ultimate action of thin bionics shells is established. Some numerical results are submitted in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the procedures suggested.
