| Abstract: | The stability in axial compression of orthotropic cylindrical shells with an elastic core is investigated with allowance for the following factors: transverse shear strains in the shell material, precritical state of stress of the core, and the moments due to the surface forces exerted on the shell by the core. The numerical results obtained are compared with the results of approximate methods in which the above-mentioned factors are disregarded.Institute of Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev.
