Abstract: | An algorithm is developed for calculating and analyzing the components of the stress tensor on the basis of an experimental function of deflections in the case of buckling of glass-fiber-reinforced shells loaded by a hydrostatic load. Possible sites of fracture of a shell are established qualitatively with the use of Malmeister's strength theory.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
