Abstract
A varying thickness composite cylindrical shell subjected to axisymmet ric deformation has been analyzed by the finite element displacement m ethod. The end conditions considered are clamped-clamped, clamped-free , simply supported-simply supported. It is shown that, by properly sel ecting the thickness variation of the shell wall, both stresses and de flections can be reduced considerably in most cases.
