Stress-strain state of shallow shells with rectangular planform and varying thickness: Refined formulation

The stress-strain state of a shallow shell with rectangular planform and varying thickness is analyzed in a refined formulation for different boundary conditions. A numerical-and-analytic method is developed based on the spline-approximation and discrete-orthogonalization methods. The stress-strain state of shallow shells with thickness varied without change in weight is analyzed __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 10, pp. 80–91, October 2007.
