THERMOELASTICITY OF LAYERED COMPOSITE SHELLS.

The methods used to design layered composite plates and shells for static and dynamic loads and to solve problems of stability are fairly well established; they are described in well-known surveys of laminated structures. Now, problems connected with determining thermal stresses and strains and temperature fields in such structures have become important. An examination is given of the construction of an applied theory for designing laminated shells in a stationary temperature field.
