Stress-strained state of nonthin shells and plates. Generalized theory (survey)

The basic methods of construction of two-dimensional (according of space coordinates) equations of the generalized theory of shells and plates have been stated. Their solution is a certain approximation to the solution of the initial three-dimensional problems. The theory construction is on the method of the stress and transfer components expansion into Fourier series by the Legendre polynomial from the thickness coordinates. The research made on the basis of the described variants of the theory of shells and plates has been systematized.
