Abstract
This report concerns with the theoretical study on the bending stress analyses of two types of shells, that is shallow translational and cylindrical shells. The study consists of three parts. The first concerns with the derivation of basic equations from the general equations for shells which have been proposed by Dr. Zerna. The second part is the stress analyses of shallow circuler translational shells. Variational technique by Galerkin was applied for oftaining simple approximate solutions someparticular boundary conditions. According to some numerical examples, these solutions might be applied for practical purposes. The third part concerns with stress analysis of general cylindrical shells. Matrix progression method was applied for solving basic equations. The result could be applied for practical purposes because the use of digital computers is quite appropriate for these results.
