Popis: The finite-difference method and the Trefftz-Reissner variational principle are used to obtain a system of equations in mixed from to describe the stability and geometric nonlinearity of composite shells of revolution. Methods are developed and an algorithm is proposed to calculate the components of the geometrically nonlinear subcritical stress-strain state and to use those components to determine the “upper” critical values for shells with zero Gaussian curvature loaded by uniform external pressure, an axisymmetric load, or a combination of these loads. The stability of cylindrical, conical, and compound shells under uniform pressure is examined for different support conditions. Linear and nonlinear methods of determining the subcritical stress-strain state are compared and their effect on the critical loads is estimated.
