Abstract: | An approach to the solution of problems of statics for corrugated cylindrical shells with varying thickness is proposed. The
solution is based on spline approximations along the generatrix and on the stable numerical method of discrete orthogonalization
along the directrix. Problems on the stress-strain state of corrugated shells whose thickness varies along the directrix with
different amplitudes and frequencies under different boundary conditions are solved. The effect of the boundary conditions,
the type of end fixity, and the law of thickness variation on the parameters of the stress-strain state is analyzed.
