Abstract
A linear complex equation for slender ring shells overall-bending in a meridian plane is given based on E. L. Axelrad’s theory of flexible shells. And the non-homogeneous solution is obtained from W. Z. Chien’s solution for axial-symmetrical slender ring shells to investigate the overall-bending problem of Ω-shaped bellows subjected to pure bending moments. The values calculated in the present paper are very close to the existing experiment. Thus Chien’s work on axial-symmetrical problems for ring shells has been extended to overall-bending problems.
