This work isdevoted to the numerical study of unsymmetrical buckling of shallow spherical shells and annular plates with varying mechanical characteristics subjected to internal pressure. We suppose that the edge of the shell is clamped but moving freely in the shell’s plane. For the annular plate a roller support is considered for the inner edge of the plate, i.e. the edge that can slide along the figure axes without changing the slope. The unsymmetric part of the solution is sought in terms of multiples of the harmonics of the angular coordinate.
