Abstract
The exact analytical solution of a nonlinear boundary-value problem is used to study the effect of a generalized geometric parameter, which characterizes thickness and curvature, on the subcritical and postcritical deformation of a hinged infinite noncircular cylindrical shell. The load on the shell is nonuniformly distributed over its cross section. The deflection of the shell is plotted for various values of the geometric parameter
