Uniformly Valid First Approximation Shell Theory of Hybrid Anisotropic Materials

Abstract

The theories in this article implies unique physical characteristics and formulated the governing equations. A uniformly valid shell theory which includes all the terms present in each of the asymptotic shell theories. The first approximation theories derived in this article represent the simplest possible shell theories for the corresponding length scales considered. Although twenty-one elastic coefficients are present in the original formulation of the problem, only six are appear in the first approximation theories.
