Analytical approach on nonlinear vibration of dry cask storage systems
M. Bayat, V. Soltangharaei and P. Ziehl
Abstract
In this paper, a novel analytical method, Max-Min Approach (MMA), has been presented and applied to consider the nonlinear vibration of dry cask storage systems. The nonlinear governing equation of the structure has been developed using the shell theory. The MMA results are compared with numerical solutions derived by Runge-Kutta
