Abstract
A theory of thin elastic shells is developed as a first approximation without using the usual assumption that the normals to the middle surface of the undeformed shell remain normals in the deformed shell. General coordinates are used and the effect of shearing stresses is included so that the theory for plates as developed by Reissner is included as a special case. Vector and tensor notations are used throughout.
