Stability of nonlinear local axisymmetrical strains of shells of revolution

A brief review of the results of investigation of the stability of the axisymmetrical strains of elastic shells of revolution is contained in 1, 2]. In 3] the problem was formulated and solved for a round shell, uniformly loaded along its hinged edge by a radial compressive force. Below, this problem is formulated for an arbitrary shell of revolution with a uniformly compressed hinged edge. Results of its solution are given for conical and spherical shells.
