About the Project
The analysis of thin cylindrical shell structures has been tried to be performed using Membrane Theory due to advantage of lesser complexity. The adequacy the theory has been tried to be checked and the results were compared with bending theory as well. The variation of the stress resultants with respect to less and rotation angle was observed. The project gives a basic idea about the shell structures and its area of implementation and adequacy of various theories.
