Optimal reinforcement schemes for cylindrical glass-plastic shells subjected to a temperature field

Conclusions In the design of shells with an optimum structure one must take into account the variation of the winding angle over the thickness as a result of nonuniform heating of the shell and temperature-dependent changes in the elastic properties. The changes in this angle due to heating are appreciable (up to 12% in our example shown here).Translated from Mekhanika Polimerov, No. 4, pp. 681–686, July–August, 1976.
