Numerical analysis of stresses and strains in flexible cylindrical shells with variable rigidity in two directions

The paper analyzes the stress-strain state in a cylindrical shell with variable rigidity in two directions. The shell is analyzed in a geometrically nonlinear framework under different loads and boundary conditions. The proposed approach reduces the nonlinear system of partial differential equations to a sequence of linear systems of ordinary differential equations. The latter are solved by discrete orthogonalization.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 57, pp. 62–67, 1985.
