In order to study thin-walled shells (i.e., a thin layer between the two regions A1-1 = O(1) and A1-1 = O(1/n), where A1 and a1 are the inner radii of the shell before and after deformation respectively on 0i/A1. For analyzing thin-walled shells, the theory of boundary layer and also Van Dyke’s 1 matching rule has been employed.} }
