Automatic procedure for analysis and geometry definition of axisymmetric domes by the membrane theory with constant normal stress

Abstract This paper presents an automatic procedure using the membrane theory of shells to analyse and define geometries for axisymmetric domes subjected to its own weight, varying its thickness and bend radius, to obtain constant normal stresses along the structure. The procedure offers a great adv...
