Relative amounts of bending versus membrane strain energy as functions of radius-to-thickness of a clamped externally pressureized hemispherical shell

Normalized strain energy is plotted on the vertical axis.

The thicker the shell the wider the bending boundary “layer”, that is, the wider the region is in which bending of the shell wall predominates.

From the same paper as the previous 2 images.
