Deformation of cylindrical shells by thermal shock

In a plane two-dimensional statement the article investigates numerically the processes of deformation and rupture of cylindrical shells under asymmetric thermal shock. It studies the effect of the thickness of the shell on the nature of deformation and rupture. Computing difficulties in the solution of similar problems are pointed out.Translated from Problemy Prochnosti, No. 6, pp. 64–69, June, 1990.
