ON THE INVESTIGATIONS OF RULED HELICAL SHELLS

Abstract

Currently, much attention is paid to development of infrastructure, which is associated with an increase in construction volumes and reducing the area of development, as well as introducing new architectural forms in the typical structures of socio economic purpose. The peak of publication on analytical methods of linear analysis of helicoidal shells was in the 1950s. In this work, detailed review of the literature on the topic of the geometry, the static analysis, and the use of ruled helicoidal shells in the 2000-2017 years is presented. KEY WORDS: ruled helical surfaces, methods of strength analysis, helicoid, pretwisted beam, shell.
