Deflections of a thin cylindrical shell that is used in carding machines, either as a swift or a doffer, are analyzed in this paper. The shell may have supple supports at its edges and inner strengthening in the form of rings. The task of calculating the deflections has been solved by dividing the shell into longitudinal beam elements. The optimization procedure for criteria of mass minimum or deflection minimum is used. A numerical example to define selected construction data is presented along with the results.
