Abstract
We derive the exact two-dimensional equations for a spherical shell from th e three-dimensional elastic state by an asymptotic expansion. The resulting equations are presented as a power series in the thickness of the shell. R esults, for which a three-dimensional solution is known or can be determine d, show full agreement.
