Abstract
In this paper, a finite strip model based on displacement compatibility for the analysis of axisymmetric thin shells. The shells is divided by nodal surfaces normal to the axis into a series of elements. The representation of geometry and displacements is performed by means of algebraic shape functions, whereas a Fourier expansion is employed for displacements in the circumferential direction. The analysis is capable of incorporating the effects of discrete supports at the base or at any other level.
