In this paper we analyze the performance of the hp-Finite Element Method for a cylindrical shell problem. Our theoretical investigations show that the hp approximation converges exponentially, provided that boundary layers stemming from the edge effect are resolved. The numerical results illustrate the mesh independence of the exponential convergence of the hp-FEM.
