shell

EK446

Calculation of the stresses in a thin shell generally is carried out in two major steps, both usually involving the solution of differential equations. In the first, bending and torsion […]

EK76

If the thickness to span ratio is less than 1/15, the shell is considered as “thin“.

EK75

A shell made of a single isotropic material with thickness to span ratio greater than 1/15 s considered as “thick“.

EK72

Shell problems generally fall into one of two categories: thin shell problems and thick shell problems.
