Abstract
We shall base all our discussion of the deformation of thin shells upon the first Kirchhoff hypothesis. Let the middle surface S of the undeformed thin shell be associated with the orthogonal curvilinear coordinates α 1, α 2. The position vector \( \overline{\rho} \) of an arbitrary point M z on the equidistant surface S z (S z ∥S) is given by Eq. (1.39), where z ∈ [–h/2, +h/2] and h is the thickness of the shell. The coordinate vectors and the Lamé coefficients satisfy Eqs. (1.42, 1.49).
Mathematics is a game played according to certain simple rules with meaningless marks on paper.
