SHELLS, SHELL STRUCTURES, AND CURVILINEAR ERECTIONS IN THE FORM OF ALGEBRAICAL SURFACES OF THE SECOND ORDER

Geometricians, architects, and engineers used the real second order surfaces always. In a presented review paper, interesting information and results of research published at the last 20 years and devoted to strength, stability, and vibration of thin and thick, one-layered and many-layered shells, made of different constructive materials, were collected. Illustrations of erections and products of the last years are presented. The real surfaces of the second order form the separate class but all of them can be distributed between other classes of surfaces. It was proved in a paper. The presented materials show that interest of researchers for considered surfaces, shell structures, shells, and curvilinear erections outlined on the second order surfaces does not go out. In this paper, the information containing in 67 used references is exploited.
