DEFORMATION OF MEMBRANE SHELLS OF ROTATION,

Abstract

The calculation of the shape of shells subjected to internal pressure and tensile stresses was investigated. Membrane shells are defined as momentless elastic shells which cannot support compressive stresses; the shell displacements are assumed small and, consequently, one can utilize linearized equations. The form of such shells may be obtained by first dividing the shell into several regions of unspecified length and then solving the system of differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions; the system of differential equations and boundary conditions actually fixes the length of every region of the shell, and by matching these sections one obtains the shape of the deformed shell.
