%X the present formulation of the analysed problem is based on donell's nonlinear shallow shell theory, which adopts kirchhoff's hypothesis. transverse shear deformations and rotary inertia of a shell are neglected. according to this theory, the non-linear strain-displacement relations at the shell midsurface has been proposed. the validity and reliability of the proposed approach has been illustrated and discussed, and then a few examples of either linear or non-linear dynamics of shells with variable thickness and complex shapes have been presented and discussed.
