Calculating the thermoelastic stress state of medium-thickness shells of revolution

Analytic and numerical analyses are carried out to ascertain whether the theories of thin and medium-thickness shells can be used to calculate the thermoelastic state of shells of revolution. It is shown that the theory of thin shells should be used in the case of thermal loading and the theory of medium-thickness shells in the case of mechanical loading __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 5, pp. 58–67, May 2008.
