From a Course on thn elastic shells:
CIE4143 Shell Analysis, Theory and Application, Course 2013/2014, taught by Dr.ir. P.C.J. Hoogenboom, Technical University of Delft. See:
http://homepage.tudelft.nl/p3r3s/CT4143_schedule.html
Professor Hoogenboom writes:
"Many structures can be modelled as thin elastic shells. Examples are pressure vessels, ancient domes, LNG storage tanks, space trusses, airplane fuselages, industrial chimneys, oil pipes and BLOB architecture. The course provides understanding in the parameters that are important for design of these structures.
Objectives of the course:
After completing this course you will understand the force flow in shell structures and be able to manually calculate stresses, deformations and buckling loads of elementary shell shapes. You will understand the scientific approach to deriving and solving the governing differential equations and you will be able to make, interpret and check finite element analyses of shell structures.
