We follow the polupostamenty theory by V. Z. Vlasov and consider the problemofthedynamicalstabilityoftheshell.Weobtaintheexactsolutioncorrespondingtothecertainrelationbetweenthickness,pressureanddensity.Suchkindofshellsofextentmediumisimportantinmechanicalandaerospaceengineeringforoptimalmassobtaining.Inthepaperweobtainminimumvaluesoftheexcitationcoefficientsforfiveboundaryvalueproblems,whichareofgreatimportancein engineering. We give the accuracy estimation of the WKB method for these problems. Numerical results are summarized in thetable.Key words: cylindrical shell, theory of shells, parametric oscillations of shells, radial loading, shell thickness, theory of elasticity,coefficients of excitation, dynamic stability.
