Abstract
In this paper we investigate the deformation of cylindrical linearly elastic shells using the Koiter model. We formulate and solve the relaxed Saint-Venant's problem for thin cylindrical tubes made of isotropic and homogeneous elastic materials. To this aim, we adapt a method established previously in the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. We present a general solution procedure to determine closed-form solutions for the extension, bending, torsion and flexure problems. We remark the analogy and formal resemblance of these solutions to the classical Saint-Venant's solutions for solid cylinders. The special case of circular cylindrical shells is also discussed.
