Abstract

As we all know from daily experience we are living in a geometrically three-dimensional world. The aim of any shell theory is to describe the mechanical behaviour of thin, three-dimensional bodies in a two-dimensional manner, namely by only two spatial coordinates. Because any unique mapping from a three- to a two-dimensional space is incompatible with our experience, this goal obviously can only be achieved in an approximative sense.
