Abstract
Statical-kinematic analysis is employed to provide a new perspective on the structural behavior of membrane shells and the related limitations of the linear membrane theory. The obtained results include a resolution of an apparent paradox in the statics of membranes, a description and explanation of the peculiar behavior of toroidal membranes with an arbitrary cross-section, and a stronger version of a central theorem in the membrane theory.
