The technique is based on dividing the shell into conical segments, and using Chebyshev series to convert the equilibrium equations of each segment into a system of algebraic equations. The complete system of equations of the whole shell is built-up by applying compatibility conditions between the conical segments, along with the boundary conditions at the shell ends. The proposed technique is validated by solving the problem of a composite spherical shell under uniform internal pressure by dividing it into cones. The technique is then applied to solve the problems of a composite laminated general shell and an isotropic conical shell with variable thickness under uniform internal pressure. 收起
