Jd. Kaplunov et Ev. Nolde, ON THE ROLE OF THICKNESS COMPRESSION IN SHELL DYNAMICS, Journal of applied mathematics and mechanics, 60(4), 1996, pp. 639-645
A thin elastic shell under a transverse surface load is considered. Th
e three-dimensional equations of the theory of elasticity are analysed
asymptotically. The range of parameters of the problem is determined
for which the effect of thickness compression cannot be neglected even
in the roughest approximation. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Lt
