Abstract:
We prove the existence theorem for solutions of geometrically nonlinear boundary-value problems for elastic shallow isotropic homogeneous shells with free edges under shear model of S. P. Timoshenko. Research method consists in the reduction of the original system of equilibrium equations to a single nonlinear equation for the components of transverse shear deformations. The basis of this method are integral representations for the generalized displacements, containing an arbitrary holomorphic functions, which are determined by the boundary conditions involving the theory of one-dimensional singular integral equations.
