GEOMETRIC SHAPES OF MEMBRANE SHELLS STIFFENED WITH AN ELASTIC RING
T. M. Martynenko UDC 539.3:531.2.001:621.81 A nonlinear integro-differential equation for determination of the shape of the meridian of a shell of revolution for which a prescribed external load produces no change in the curvature and torsion of the median surface has been derived. A formula for determination of the cross-sectional area of an elastic stiffening ring has been obtained.
