Abstract
Starting with the three-dimensional equations of classical isotropic elasticity, equations are obtained for boundary-layer effects near any smooth edge of an elastic shell. Solutions of these equations are combined with solutions of the equations of the 'interior’ problem so that any specified edge conditions in terms of stresses can be satisfied. The usual Kirchhoff stress boundary conditions for the major terms of the interior stresses are deduced from the analysis.
