Abstract
The shielding characteristics of thin conductive shells are considered. Both elliptical and spheroidal shapes are treated using a thin-sheet boundary condition. It is shown that the form of the solutions is relatively simple if the angular variation of the shell thickness is taken to vary in a prescribed fashion. In such cases, the internal field is reduced by a factor (1 + iωτ)−1 relative to the external primary field where ω is the angular frequency and τ is a response factor that depends on the shell dimensions. The well-known results for cylindrical and spherical shells are obtained as special cases.
