Applications for shell structures are numerous and include cooling towers, pipelines, aircraft, marine construction, big dams, shell roofing, and liquid-retaining structures. Weight reduction is a key design goal for these structures since it improves system performance. Composite materials can be used to achieve this, which provide more specific stiffness and strength than conventional metallic structures.
