Abstract: | The elastoplastic stress-strain state of flexible ellipsoidal shells under concentric loading is investigated by the solution
of nonlinear boundary-value problems. Numerical results are presented for open shells in the case of a free (unsupported)
edge and a shell with a central opening (the periphery of the opening is supported by a thin ring). Solutions of the problems
in linear and nonlinear statements are analyzed. Numerical results for ellipsoidal and spherical shells are compared.
