Abstract
Parametric study involving foundation parameters and shell geometry is carried our Sor nonlinear static behavior of an orthotropic shallow s pherical shell on a Kerr foundation. Study shows that the deflection r educes if the shell curvature or the foundation parameters of the shea r layer and the lower spring layer are increased. Shells with immovabl e edges are found to be more prone and vulnerable to changes in variou s parameters than those with movable edges.
