The shakedown theory and basic relations to develop an upper bound tec
hnique for the analysis of thin axisymmetric shells has been represent
ed in Part I of this paper. Here numerical solutions consisting of the
shakedown or limit load and the corresponding collapse mechanism are
compared with other numerical and analytical solutions for a range of
shell geometries. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
