| Abstract: | The author examines an approach to the construction of a theory of thermoelastic bending of arbitrarily reinforced shells and plates that takes into account the actual structure, the deformation characteristic, and the actual thermomechanical properties of the elements which make up the composite. The final equations are obtained with and without allowance for transverse shear strains. The problem of the thermoelastic bending of a thin, arbitrarily reinforced rectangular plate hinged at the edges, when transverse shear strains can be neglected, is considered as an example.Institute of Hydrodynamics, Siberian Division, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Novosibirsk.
