description A new numerical analytical method for solving geometrically nonlinear bending problems of thin shallow shells and plates of complex shape is given in the paper. The problem statement is performed within the framework of the classic geometrically nonlinear formulation. The parameter continuation method was used to linearize the nonlinear bending problem of shallow shells and plates. An increasing parameter t related to the external load, which characterizes the shell loading process, is introduced. For the variational formulation of the linearized problem, a functional in the Lagrange form, defined on the kinematically possible movement speeds, is constructed. To find the main unknowns of the problem of nonlinear bending of the shell (displacement, deformation, stress), the Cauchy problem was formulated by the parameter t for the system of ordinary differential equations, which was solved by the fourth order Runge-Kutta-Merson method with automatic step selection. The initial conditions are found from the solution of the problem of geometric linear deformation. The right-hand sides of the differential equations at fixed values of the parameter t, corresponding to the Runge-Kutta-Merson scheme, were found from the solution of the variational problem for the functional in the Lagrange form. Variational problems were solved using the Ritz method combined with the R-function method, which allows to accurately take into account the geometric information about the boundary value problem and provide an approximate solution in the form of a formula - a solution structure that exactly satisfies all (general structure) or part (partial structure) of boundary conditions. The test problem for the nonlinear bending of a square clamped plate under the action of a uniformly distributed load of different intensity is solved. The results for deflections and stresses obtained using the developed method are compared with the analytical solution and the solution obtained by the finite element method. The problem of bending of a clamped plate of complex shape is solved. The effect of the geometric shape on the stress-strain state is studied.
