Extract

The elementary beam theory for shell structures yields the exact solution for normal and shear stress, if the three following conditions are fulfilled:

  • (a) the shell must be prismatic;

  • (b) the cross section must not deform in its plane;

  • (c) the centres of rotation of the different cross sections must form an axis of rotation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the beam.
