Equations have been derived which enable a numerical analysis of axisymmetrically loaded shells of revolution to be made. These equations apply equally to small or large deflection shell theory with linear or non-linear stress-strain laws. Numerical results are presented for the case of an elastic-plastic axially loaded corrugated expansion bellows.
