where x is the distance measured from some reference profile to the point of interest and is the angle between the normal to the shell at a point and a reference normal at a chosen origin.
(a) (b)
Single cylindrical shell, showing dimensions and coordinate system. Cross-section of a shallow circular cylindrical shell, here drawn as a parabolic arc.
Shells both with and without edge-beams will be studied and in this way we will be able to grasp the advantages associated with the provision of these auxiliary members, and to discuss ways of deciding on their dimensions.

Beam Analysis:
The shell is conceived as a beam resting on the end supports and behaving according to the classical beam theory. The beam has the profile of the cylindrical shell as its cross-section and the length of the shell as its longitudinal span.
Arch Analysis: A unit width of the shell will considered as an arch subjected to loading.
Figure: Resultant forces acting on half of the shell and the associated edge-beams

Assignment problems
Using linear elastic shell analysis, compute and draw a) deformation (radial deformation w*, meridional rotation x) and b) section force (meridional section force nx, circumferential section force n, transverse shear force Qx, meridional section moment mx and circumferential section force m) results of the following cases along the axial direction of the corresponding shells.
Note: The normal section forces and bending moments should be plotted normalized with respect to the corresponding un-axial yield section force, Npl = t.fy, and section moment, Mpl = t2.fy/4, respectively
