Extract

The purpose of this paper is to summarise some recent results obtained at Standford University regarding the buckling of thin shells. A detailed review of work done by other investigators will not be given here because this was done recently in two papers written by the author. However, a few important steps in the evolution of our knowledge of the buckling of thin .shells will be mentioned to put the new results in proper perspective.
