  2. Shell (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(structure)

    A thin shell is defined as a shell with a thickness which is small compared to its other dimensions and in which deformations are not large compared to thickness. A primary difference between a shell structure and a plate structure is that, in the unstressed state, the shell structure has curvature as opposed to the plates structure which is flat.

  3. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    Deformation of a thin plate highlighting the displacement, the mid-surface (red) and the normal to the mid-surface (blue) The Kirchhoff–Love theory is an extension of Euler–Bernoulli beam theory to thin plates. The theory was developed in 1888 by Love [2] using assumptions proposed by Kirchhoff. It is assumed that a mid-surface plane can be ...

    A thin shell is defined as a shell with a thickness which is relatively small compared to its other dimensions and in which deformations are not large compared to thickness. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Thin-shell structures .

  5. Spherical shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_shell

    An approximation for the volume of a thin spherical shell is the surface area of the inner sphere multiplied by the thickness t of the shell: [2] V ≈ 4 π r 2 t , {\displaystyle V\approx 4\pi r^{2}t,}

  6. Concrete shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_shell

    A concrete shell, also commonly called thin shell concrete structure, is a structure composed of a relatively thin shell of concrete, usually with no interior columns or exterior buttresses. The shells are most commonly monolithic domes, but may also take the form of hyperbolic paraboloids, ellipsoids, cylindrical sections, or some combination ...

  7. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    Thin cylindrical shell with open ends, of radius r and mass m. = [1] The expression ″thin″ indicates that the shell thickness is negligible. It is a special case of the thick-walled cylindrical tube of the same mass for r 1 = r 2. Solid cylinder of radius r, height h and mass m.

  8. Cylinder stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_stress

    Thin sections often have negligibly small radial stress, but accurate models of thicker-walled cylindrical shells require such stresses to be considered. In thick-walled pressure vessels, construction techniques allowing for favorable initial stress patterns can be utilized.

    Plates in the crust of Earth. Earth's crust is its thick outer shell of rock, referring to less than one percent of the planet's radius and volume.It is the top component of the lithosphere, a solidified division of Earth's layers that includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle. [1]
