| Abstract: | A method of designing composite membrane shells of revolution under axisymmetric loading is described. The properties of the shell material are analyzed. It is shown that for shells of high-modulus material in the presence of tensile membrane stresses the fibers fail in the matrix. A fiber arrangement and shell geometry ensuring isotensoid properties are proposed for this case. A technological and weight analysis is presented.S. Ordzhonikidze Moscow Aviation Institute.
