Effect of structural and mechanical characteristics of the composite material on the deformation of a reflector antenna

This is a study of the effect of structural and mechanical characteristics of a composite material on the stress–strain state of a reflector antenna shaped as a composite thin shell of revolution subjected to gravity, wind, and temperature loads. The boundary-value problem for the system of partial differential equations governing the behavior of this structure is reduced to a sequence of boundary-value problems for inhomogeneous systems of ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients. The resulting stiff systems of equations are solved by Godunov's method of discrete orthogonalization.
