Relationships for two-, three-. and four-layered shells are obtained as special cases, and various models of structurally orthotropic shells are considered. The material of all elements. making up the shell is assumed to be ideal stiff-plastic, giving rise to the piecewise 11inear conditions of plasticity which are graphically portrayed in Figures I and 2; L ithe first figure represents "sheathing" elements# and the second "stiffener" elements.

An expressfon for the limit pressure P. of a cylindrical shell stiffened by closely spaced rings and clamped along the face edges Is derived from the expression for Pp by means of an affine transformation.

Dopovidi, no. 6, 1966, 748-753 TOPIC TAGS: elasticity theory, vector, boundary value problem, ela.3tic plate FABSTRACT: The author studies a plane problem in the linear theory of elasticity which .considers stress moments in an isotropic elastic material. In setting up this problem,' Iformulas are given for the stress moments and translation in terms -)f complex poten- Itials and the solution of the Helmholz equation. Expressions are given for the prin- ;cipal vec-~or and the principaL moment, and also for boundary conditions in fundamental !problems of this ty-pe. These formulas are derived on the basis of -:-epresentations for !the components of the stressed state in terms of the stress functian using the Muskhe- 'lishvili method. The stressed state of an infinite plate with an a~6solutely rigid :washer sealed in a circular hole is calculated. The entire system is assumed to be :uniaxial-ly stretched to infin-fty.
