MAIN RESULTS in the field of structures stability
In experimental investigations of compressed cylindrical shells, stiffened with thin-walled ribs, carried out in 1969-1971, there has been revealed the crucial role of nonlinear interaction of overall and local modes in the buckling of stiffened shells. A nonlinear theory of coupled buckling of stiffened plates and shells has been elaborated and experimentally verified (1972-1989), which takes into account the interaction of all buckling modes, including “rib buckling” modes. These results have been presented in monograph [1], in Dr. Sci. Thesis “Nonlinear theory of stability of stiffened plates and shells with taking into account the interaction of buckling modes” (Leningrad, LPI, 1989) and numerous papers partially listed above.

MAIN RESULTS in the field of optimization of shells and thin-walled structures
There have been obtained solutions of minimum-weight problems for stiffened plates, shells and thin-walled bars-beams, based on the linear theory of stability and the nonlinear theory of interactive buckling. A new approach to the multi-criteria optimization of structures subjected to different systems of combined loading has been proposed.
