Abstract
Many shell structures of practical interest have axisymmetric forms. Examples are water and oil tanks, grain silos, cooling towers, nuclear containment shells, spherical and conical roofs and other structures outside the civil construction industry such as pressure vessels, missiles, airplane and spacecraft fuselages, etc. (Figure 9.1).
