ON THE NONLINEAR THEORY OF ELASTIC SHELLS UNDER THE KIRCH OFF HYPOTHESIS

Abstract

The analysis is concerned with an exact, complete, and fully general nonlinear theory of elastic shells founded under the Kirchhoff hypothesis (Arch. Rat'l Mech. and Anal., 1:295323, 1958). Since the fully general equations of equilibrium in terms of stress and couple resultants and the appropriate boundary conditions are well known, the main task is the determination of suitable strain measures and the derivation of constitutive equations.
