COMPUTATIONAL SIMULATION OF NONLINEAR BENDING OF A CURVED CYLINDRICAL SHELL
An asymptotic and numerical analysis of the mathematical model of a curved pipeline is performed in the MATLAB and Abaqus packages. Approximate solutions of the model problem for bending moments and stresses are found. The adequacy of the proposed model and the algorithms for its numerical analysis is estimated.
Keywords: computational experiment, curved pipeline, verification of the mathematical model
