Abstract: Plate-cone reticulated shell is a new type of space structures with good mechanical behavior and technical economy. In this dissertation, plate-cone reticulated shell is equated to three layer interactive thin shell. Derived on t he basis of the theory of thin shells, the governing differential equations are established from the displacement method and the mixed method of derivation. The solution of this system of differential equations gives the displacements and internal forces.
Keywords: Plate-cone reticulated shell, continuum analogy method, theory of thin shells.
