Abstract
The basic equations for the bending of circular rings are deduced from a set of accurate equations for circular cylindrical shells. The advantages in using these differential equations as compared with the customary energy method are shown through examples. It turns out that solutions of these equations can be as easily obtained as solutions of the well-known differential equation for straight beams. It is also shown that the center line of the ring is essentially inextensible, which is assumed ab initio in the classical ring theory.
