| Abstract: | A method based on the use of Laplace transforms has been developed for reducing the system of equations of motion of a viscoelastic orthotropic cylindrical shell to a single integro-differential equation. The effect of the viscous components on the regions of dynamic instability is investigated (creep due to the action of the shear stresses is taken into account).Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
