ABSTRACT

The reference surface M of the circular cylinder with radius R, length L, and thickness h is loaded by the compressive axial force component uniformly distributed on both boundaries perpendicular to cylinder’s generators. The cylindrical surface is parameterized by non-dimensional coordinates (φ, x = z/R).The independent field variables of the BVP are displacements of the reference surface. The non-dimensional incremental displacements u(φ, x), v(φ, x) and w(φ, x) denote, respectively, the axial, circumferential and radial components of the incremental displacement vector divided by R, see Fig. 1.
