The Thermoelastic State of Orthotropic Shells Heated by Concentrated Heat Sources

A problem on thin-walled orthotropic shells of arbitrary Gaussian curvature acted upon by concentrated heat sources is solved by means of the two-dimensional Fourier transformation. The temperature is assumed to distribute linearly throughout the shell thickness. Convective heat exchange with the environment under Newton's law is taken into account. Calculated results are presented. The influence of the curvature on the thermoelastic state of various orthotropic shells is studied
