Abstract
A Galerkin procedure is used to prove the existence of a minimum energy solution for the problem of the spherical shell under constant normal pressure. It is shown that if the pressure is sufficiently small the trivial solution is the minimum energy solution and if the pressure is sufficiently large a nontrivial solution furnishes the minimum energy solution. Bounds are obtained on these critical pressures.
