Abstract

In earlier chapters, we derived the equilibrium, strain-displacement, and constitutive equations and stated the required boundary conditions for the bending theory of shells, referred to a system of orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. Also, we developed strain energy and potential energy expressions that can be incorporated into an energy formulation of the shell theory. In this chapter, these equations are specialized for various classes of shells, as we have done for the membrane theory equations in chapter 4.
