Abstract

A method is developed for numerical solution of nonlinear two-dimensional boundary-value problems of statics describing unsymmetric strain of flexible orthotropic layered spherical shells of variable rigidity in classical and enhanced-accuracy formulations. Dimension reduction is achieved by enhanced-accuracy finite-difference approximation combined with the quasilinearization method and a stable numerical method of solution of one-dimensional linear boundary-value problems.
