Stability of a viscoelastic inhomogeneous shell

Shells are considered for which the constants of viscoelasticity are random functions of curvilinear coordinates of the middle surface. Correlation functions are obtained for the first approximations of the deflection and the stress function, as well as the variance of the critical time.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 1, pp. 109–113, January–February, 1972.
