This document provides information on shell theory and the modeling of various shell structures. It begins by defining a shell as a thin-walled three-dimensional structure. It then discusses shell thickness and functions. The document also covers modeling shells using the static-geometric hypothesis of Kirchhoff-Love and thin shell theory. It provides the mathematical foundations of differential geometry as applied to shell surfaces. Finally, it gives examples of generating surfaces for different shell types like ellipsoids, hyperboloids, cones, paraboloids, cylinders, and applies meshing techniques.
