Elastic Shells

Elastic Shells is a theoretical framework in continuum mechanics that models thin three-dimensional structures as deformable surfaces capable of resisting elastic bending and membrane stresses, distinguished from rigid or plastic shell models by its incorporation of linear or nonlinear elasticity to describe reversible mechanical behavior under load.
