Abstract
An algorithm is developed for calculating and analyzing the components of the stress tensor on the basis of an experimental function of deflections in the case of buckling of glass-fiber-reinforced shells loaded by a hydrostatic load. Possible sites of fracture of a shell are established qualitatively with the use of Malmeister's strength theory.
