Shell Mechanics

Shell Mechanics is a branch of solid mechanics that studies the behavior and deformation of thin, curved structural elements—characterized by one dimension being significantly smaller than the other two—under applied loads, distinguished from other structural theories by its focus on the mechanical response of surfaces with intrinsic curvature and the coupling of bending and membrane effects.
