Abstract

An extremely strong effect of boundary conditions on the character of damping of the stressed-strained state in a cylindrical envelope with a free edge under the action of concentrated normal forces transferred through an elastic frame has been revealed. Thus, under the effect of radial load at a large distance from the free edge of the envelope, the values of normal displacement and annular bending moment not only decrease on approaching the free edge but also increase, reaching a maximum value on the free edge of the envelope, which is in conflict with Saint-Venant's principle.
