Abstract: | Conclusions Residual stress formation in stiffened composite shells has a nonmonotonic character determined by the fabrication technology, by the structural geometry and by the relations between the thermophysical and mechanical characteristics of the materials of which the individual elements are composed. For a given temperature regime a residual stress distribution favorable with respect to strength can be obtained by using auxiliary devices with specially selected properties.Moscow Power-Engineering Institute.
