Scope

The objects of the present investigation are to find: 1. Solutions of the spherical shell equations which are valid for all values of the colatitude and for any degree of asymmetry. 2. Simplified solutions suitable for hand calculations. 3. Solutions for concentrated loads applied to the shell@ suitable for use in the influence line method.The ranges in which the various solutions are valid are assessed by comparing edge influence coefficients and@ as a result@ recommendations@ which are useful for design purposes@ have been made.
