International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A number of approaches to the solution of stress problems for anisotropic inhomogeneous shells in the classical formulation are discussed. A review is made of approaches to the solution of one- and two-dimensional static problems for thin shells with variable parameters and to the solution of stress–strain problems for anisotropic shells of revolution under axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric loading, shallow convexo-convex shells, noncircular cylindrical shells, plates of various shapes, and shells of complex geometry
