Stability of shells of revolution made of granular composite with damageable components

Shells of revolution made of a granular composite material with microdamageable components are studied. Microdamages are simulated by spheroidal pores filled with a damaged material. The concentration of pores increases with increasing load. The problem is formulated using the concept of continuous load and the Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses. Solutions are presented for shells of positive and zero Gaussian curvature.Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 40, No. 9, pp. 105–115, September 2004.
