Summary: The method of determination of stresses in cylindrical shell with two holes on one guide was given. The shells model of Timoshenko was used. The method of finite elements was used. The strain distribution around the holes on changed of shear stiffness of shell material was investigated.

Key words: stress, shell with circular opening, finite elements method.

Summary: In this article, the application of the MathCAD software package for solving differential equations with partial derivatives is considered.

Key words: mathematics editor, differential equations, partial derivatives.
