Conclusions
1. Upon the loading of a composite shell having a metallic matrix the shear effects are insignificant even in the case of comparatively large volume reinforcement contents and wall thicknesses.
2. The principal modulus of a material which determines the stability of a reinforced shell upon isotropic external pressure is the secant modulus in the circumferential direction.
3. In the case of complex reinforcement schemes some decrease in the stability of the shell is possible, probably due to an imperfection in reinforcement technology.
