Abstract

Specialization of the general thin-shell theory for the class of large deformations realizable by small strain is considered. This leads in three different ways to the intrinsic nonlinear theory of flexible shells. As an illustration, large displacements and rotations culminating in collapse of finite-length tubes are investigated.

This work is dedicated to the recent 70th birthday of Professor W.T. Koiter.
