Inverse Problems of the Mechanics of Thin-Walled Composite Structures

New formulations and methods for the solution of the inverse problems of thin-walled layered and reinforced shells and plates are discussed. Rational projects with regard for the requirements of nonflexural deformations in layered structural members, the given deformability of particular surfaces, the realization of a strictly momentless state, an equally stressed reinforcement, and the breaking strength of the binder at the interfaces are investigated. A brief review of the known solutions to these problems is given, and solutions to some new problems are described.
