Application of the variational-moment approach to problems of the theory of elasticity of shells

We consider a method of obtaining an approximate system of equations of elasticity theory for shells, based on representing the components of the stress tensor and the displacement vector as a sum of products of moment characteristics depending on the coordinates of the base surface of the shell and functions of the normal coordinate to the base surface.Translated fromMatematicheskie Metody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie Polya, Issue 33, 1991, pp. 56–59.
