Abstract
A higher-order shell theory, which includes the effects of transverse shear and transverse normal strains, is developed for describing the behavior of composite shells. The equations, applicable to laminated composite shells of arbitrary shape with arbitrary temperature and moisture distributions, are established in tensor notation without reference to any particular coordinate system. These equations are then written in terms of components with respect to an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system.
