Asst. Prof. Ahmad Reshad NOORI, Chair of the Civil Engineering Department at Istanbul Gelisim University, has authored a new scientific article titled “Static Analysis of Axisymmetric Thin Cylindrical Shell Using the Complementary Functions Method.”
The study explores the static behavior of axisymmetric thin cylindrical shells—essential components in numerous engineering systems—under varying loading conditions. Focusing on shells made of homogeneous, isotropic, and linearly elastic materials, the research formulates the governing differential equations using the principle of minimum total potential energy. These equations are then solved using the Complementary Functions Method (CFM), a robust and efficient numerical approach.
The method was implemented using Wolfram Mathematica, and the resulting data were validated through comparisons with findings from existing literature. The strong correlation confirmed both the reliability and effectiveness of CFM for shell analysis. Additionally, the study demonstrated that loading type significantly influences the shell's structural behavior.
We extend our congratulations to Asst. Prof. Ahmad Reshad NOORI for his noteworthy contribution to structural mechanics and wish him continued success in his academic pursuits.
