Analysis of shells reinforced by massive stiffening ribs

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

The paper presents results of applying a heterogeneous mathematical model “elastic body–Timoshenko shell” to design shells with massive ribs. Numerical results are obtained for a cylindrical shell with ribs. They are compared with results obtained using the theory of elasticity and the theory of Timoshenko shells with piecewise-constant thickness
