Abstract
The authors propose a mathematical model of shell structures taking into account the linear theory of hereditary material creep. This model is based on the total potential strain energy functional. Shells are reinforced with stiffeners, and the contact between the stiffener and the shell skin along a strip is taken into account. The Ritz method is applied to the functional, and a system of algebraic or integro-algebraic equations is found. The resulting system is first solved as a linear system (without account for the terms reflecting material creep), and the state of the structure under the specified load is determined. Then the iterative method is used to solve the creep problem for a given value of time. The paper presents the results of studying stiffened shallow shells of double curvature made of reinforced concrete under uniformly distributed load. The buckling of shells occurs over time as a result of the development of creep strains. Values of the buckling load as a result of material creep are found. It is shown that stresses are redistributed over the shell field over time and the maximum stress is observed near the contour of the structure.
