Linear-heredity analysis of orthotropic cylindrical shells with initial deflection subjected to external pressure

The bending of a cylindrical shell with initial deflection under the long-time action of external hydrostatic pressure is investigated on the basis of the theory of linear heredity. The material of the shell is assumed to be orthotropic. The problem is solved in the geometrically linear formulation.Translated from Mekhanika Polimerov, No. 4, pp. 680–686, July–August, 1969.
