A Practical Method for the Analysisof Cylindrical Reticulated Shells Formed from the Equilateral Triangular Grids

Masakazu Ozaki, in his paper, developed a pratical method for the stress analysis of reticulated shells having fine mashes. The fundamental differential equations are derived after setting up the equations of equilibrium and compatibility. To solve these equations by applying finite difference equations and the requirements of boundary conditions.
This paper further developed the partial differential equations of a cylindrical reticulated shell formed from an assembly of elements containing six frame-work members intersecting at a common joint.
It is hoped that this formulation will contribute to the calculation of cylindrical reticulated shells.
