Hello,

Recently I faced few questions in a course that I am attending:

1) Outline the salient features of different higher order shell theories.

2)Explain why some shell theories are not suitable as the basis of element formulation.

3) Discuss any limitations of elements being used in relation to their underlying formulation ( e.g use of shallow shell theory or cylindrical shell theory).
