Abstract
In nature, shells are the rule rather than the exception. The list of natural shell-like structures is long, and the strength properties of some of them are remarkable. It is logical, therefore, for man to utilize them in man-made structures. But to do this safely, we must understand the fundamental laws which govern the strength and displacement behavior of such structures for they are not immune to failures, particularly in the fracture mode.
