Abstract: | An optimum multilayer shell is designed whose stack of elementary layers has a nonuniform thickness. This optimization problem is solved numerically for the special cases of three-layer cylindrical shells with dynamic and static stability. The optimum variants of layer distribution in this model are compared with the optimum solutions in [1].Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSSR, Riga.
