Analysis of shells using finite elements
Exercise 1- Analysis of a simple cylinder
Exercise 1 is a beginner exercise to familiarise oneself with the programs PASHA and LEASH. It will analysis the local bending of a cylinder close to a boundary condition. The analysis is performed for a cylinder exposed to uniform internal pressure with an additional axial load at one end, with pinned end support conditions, displayed below:

Exercise 2-Spherical dome stress analysis problem
It will analyse the behaviour of a spherical dome under external pressure which is supported at its lower edge. The two load cases for the problem are self-weight of the dome and uniform external pressure.
