Thus, like in all existing theories of thin shells, the displacement of any point of the shell is independent of the coordinate y. This "r displacement component has for all points of a line element of a normal to the shell a constant value, equal to the normal displacement component w = ~(a, 6) of the corresponding point of the middle surface of the shell. Substituting the expressions for e , ep,, HII H2 and u,,from (2.2), (2.10) and (2.11) into equations (2.9y we obtain differential equations for the displacement components ua and UP.

Our formulas (2.12) show that, in contrast to known theories of thin shells [ 1,2,5,7 I, the tangential displacement components ua and u P .Of any point of the shell at a distance y from the middle surface are, in the case considered here, as in the publications [ 8,9 1, non-linear functions of the distance y.

The equation (2.48) is the third continuity relation for the deformation of the middle surface of the shell. As it should be expected, the relation does not differ in any way from the corresponding relation of the classical theory of thin shells [2, 5 I. The remaining two conditions of continuity for the deformation of the middle surface will not be needed in the present paper. 'lheequations (2.14) to (2.31), (2.36), (2.38) to (2.46) taken together represent a complete system of equations of the theory of shells.

It is known [1,2,5 1 that such a complete system can be established in various ways. In view of its extreme complexity in the general case of a shell of arbitrary form, the complete system of equations will be considered here for one practically important type of shell only. In the process of solving actual boundary value problems the differential equations of the shell have to be completed in the usual manner by statement of the boundary conditions [1,2,3 I . 3.

A detailed study of the results presented in the first three Sections of this paper reveals the following fact: the special case, characterized by au4 = 0, as5 = 0, a,,5 = 0, leads to the basic relations and equations of the theory of anisotropic shells based upon the hypotheses of nondeformable normals. 4. Consider a shell in the form of a circular cylinder of radius R. We take the a and p coordinate lines to be directed along the generators and the parallel circles of the middle surface, respectively. Assume that the shell is being acted upon by normally applied loading only. For such a shell

Let us consider the numerical example treated in [7,12 f ; take a = 50 cm, 1 = 25 cm, h = 7 cm, while p = 0.3. For the dimensions just given we shall examine three cases, for which the ratio E/C' equals 2.6; 5.0; 10.0, respectively. In the case E/G’ = 2.6 we have evidently to deal with an isotropic shell, while in the second and in the third case we have transversely isotropic shells. 'Ihevalues of the coefficients Cn,,of the normal displacement component of the shell are given in Table 1 in the form of the ratio C,,/N, where N = 24yR3Z2/Enh. In the last column of Table 1 are given the values of TABLE 1.

the coefficient of the maximum normal displacement, i.e. the values of the coefficient of w at the point /3= 0, /?= % 1. For comparison we give in the first line of Table 1 the values of the same coefficients CAJUN, where N = 24~R~l'/~~, calculated by means of the theory based upon the hypothesis of non-deformable normals [7,12 1. The comparison shows that the results obtained on the basis of the latter theory essentially differ from those derived from the theory offered in the present paper. We see that even in the case of an isotropic shell the error incurred in the classical theory (based upon the hypothesis of non-deformable normals) can amount to 15%. In the case of transversely isotropic shells the error can become quite substantial for the case of the example considered here, depending on the ratio E/G’. For instance, in the case of a ratio E/G* = 10 the error just mentioned rises to 35%.
