Equation in Complex Variable of Axisymmetrical Deformation Problems for a General Shell of Revolution

In this paper,the equation of axisymmetrical deformation problems for a general shell of revolution is derived in one complex variable under the usual Love-Kirchhoff assumption.In the case of circular ring shells,this equation may be simplified into the equation given by F.Tdlke(1938)[3].R.A.Clark(1950)^[4] and V.V.Novozhilov(1951)^[5].When the horizontal radius of the shell of revolution is much larger than the average radius of curvature of meridian curve,this equation in complex variable may be simplified into the equation for slander ring shells.If the ring shell is circular in shape,then this equation can be reduced into the equation in complex variable for slander circular ring shells given by this author(1979)^[6].If the form of elliptic cross-section is near a circle,then the equation of slander ring shell with near-circle ellipitic cross-section may be reduced to the complex variable equation similar in form for circular slander ring shells.
