Abstract
By solving the boundary-value stress–strain problems for cylindrical shells with an elliptical cross section and a thickness varying along the directrix, the effect of variability in the thickness and load on their deformation is studied. Tables and plots present the deflection and the bending moment calculated under various boundary and loading conditions.
