Abstract
In the frame of the geometrically nonlinear theory of thin elastic shells with moderate rotations a set of consistent equations for the nonlinear stability analysis is derived by application of energy criteria. Some methods of functional analysis are used which enable to prove the symmetry of the stability equations and to calculate bifurcation buckling from linear and nonlinear equilibrium branches and also snap-through buckling loads by variational approximating procedures.
