Abstract: Using solutions obtained by separation of variables, the set of singular solutions of the shallow cylindrical shell equation is completed by finding a particular integral of a second-order ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the inverse problem of large deformation of very thin shells. An inflated shell of known shape is considered and the differential equations are derived for the case that ...

Abstract: In this paper, nonlinear membrane equations are derived for a shell of revolution under the assumption that not only are the displacements and rotations large, but that, also, large strains ...
