Optimal Design of Submerged Elastic Cylindrical Shells.

Abstract

The report deals with the problem of optimal design of submerged elastic cylindrical shells for maximum pressure. Approximate solution is obtained by the Rayleigh-Ritz method within the extent of presumed form of distribution function of shell thickness. Optimal configuration of the shell is found for a wide range the length-radius-ratio of the shell. (Author)
