Abstract
Results are described of the experimental investigation of the patterns of change of carrying capacity and deformation of smooth thin-walled round cylindrical shells made from fiberglass reinforced plastic based on phenol-formaldehyde binder, loaded by an axial compressing force in a temperature field uniform with respect to the thickness of the wall and the surface. The experimental data are compared with calculated ones obtained according to the formulae of the theory of orthotropic shells. The influence of circumferential compressing stresses arising in the junction zone of the heated wall with less heated thicker parts at the edges (ribs) on the carrying capacity of the shells is evaluated.
