In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of large axisymmetric deformations of closed axisymmetric nonlinearly elastic shells under internal hydrostatic pressure. These shells can suffer flexure, extension, and shear. Since there are spherical shells that can enclose an arbitrarily large volume at a finite pressure (cf. [1]), we take the volume rather than the pressure as the large parameter.

In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of large deformations of nonlinearly elastic, noncircular rings under internal hydrostatic pressure. These rings can undergo flexure, extension, and shear. Their governing equations are the same as those for the inflation of cylindrical shells.

We study the buckling of hemispherical elastic shells subjected to the combined effect of pressure loading and a probing force. We perform an experimental investigation using thin shells of nearly uniform thickness that are fabricated with a well-controlled geometric imperfection. By systematically varying the indentation displacement and the geometry of the probe, we study the effect that the probe-induced deflections have on the buckling strength of our spherical shells. The experimental results are then compared to finite element simulations, as well as to recent theoretical predictions from the literature. Inspired by a nondestructive technique that was recently proposed to evaluate the stability of elastic shells, we characterize the nonlinear load-deflection mechanical response of the probe for different values of the pressure loading. We demonstrate that this nondestructive method is a successful local way to assess the stability of spherical shells.

In the present paper, the collision of two elastic spherical shells is investigated using the wave theory of impact. The model developed here suggests that after the moment of impact quasi-longitudinal and quasi-transverse shock waves are generated, which then propagate along the spherical shells. The solution behind the wave fronts is constructed with the help of the theory of discontinuities. Since the local bearing of the materials of the colliding elastic shells is taken into account, then the solution in the contact domain is found via the Hertz contact theory.
