The paper deals with the asymptotic methods, developed for creating a mathematic model of non-stationary wave propagation in shells of revolution under shock impacts of tangential, bending types and shock impacts of normal type; the methods are also aimed at solving the boundary value problems for the strain-stress state (SSS) components with different values of variability and dynamicity indices. Classification of asymptotic approximations is also presented. This classification defines three different types of separation scheme of non-stationary SSS.
