To secure the high structural efficiency of a thin shell, select a shape, proportions, and supports for the specific design conditions that come as close as possible to satisfying the […]

In the membrane theory, a thin shell is statically determinate.
EK445
Thin shell should also satisfy the following conditions: Shearing stresses normal to the middle surface are negligible. Points on a normal to the middle surface before it is deformed lie […]
EK74
Thin shell problems assume that transverse shear deformation is small enough to be neglected.
