 Answer the questions of the following in brief (Each question carries 10 marks ) (60 marks)

Question No. 1: Discuss the classification of plates and assumption made in the analysis of thin plates with small
deflections ?

Question No.2: Give the classification of shells with example.

Question No.3: Develop the general differential equations of equilibrium for cylindrical shell loaded
