Abstract
The response of a solid cone to a pure bending moment applied at its tip was found recently in terms of spherical polar coordinates by a using a suitable change of parameter leading to series solutions. By a very simple further parameter change, the additional solutions have been found which are needed to extend the analysis to give the response of a hollow cone to any resultant load applied to its tip.
