Elastoplastic deformation of shells of revolution under nonaxisymmetric loading (review)

Problems of determination of the elastoplastic stress-strain state of shell s of revolution under nonaxisymmetric force and heat loads are solved and t he results are examined. The deformation characteristics of shells of revol ution whose thickness varies in two directions are related using the theory of thin shells for plasticity problems, The mechanical effects are determi ned by the axial asymmetry of the loads, the thickness variability, and the functional dependence of stresses on deformation, temperature, and time.
