Analysis of shallow spherical shell with circular base under eccentrically applied concentrated loads (Q1086026)

In this paper, problems of a shallow spherical shell with circular base under eccentrically applied concentrated loads are discussed. The solutions for six cases of eccentrically applied concentrated loads are given, namely: (1) Normal concentrated load; (2) Meridional tangential concentrated load; (3) Circumferential tangential concentrated load; (4) Concentrated moment in the tangential plane; (5) Concentrated moment in the meridional normal plane; (6) Concentrated moment in the circumferential normal plane. From the solutions of concentrated loads, the solutions of distributed line loads in the form of cos \(n\theta\) along the circle are obtained.
