Nonlinear elastic shell theory extends classical shell models to account for large deformations, complex material behaviours and coupling between bending and stretching in slender curved structures.

Scientists from Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) have used elastic shell theory to describe how the stiffness of plant cell walls depends on their elasticity and internal turgor ...
