This paper is devoted to an orthotropic cylindricall simply supported shell subjected to external pressure. This analysis is focused on determining geometrical shape of shell. Main subject of investigation is to maximize the stability of the shell. Mathematical model of double layer shell was implemented. Numerical solution was obtained for particular class of shells by using the finite element code ABAQUS. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
