Two versions are presented of a tranversely‐curved finite strip for the static analysis of circular cylindrical shells. The strip is a refined displacement model with sixteen transverse degrees‐of‐freedom arranged either at two or at four nodal lines. The analysis is specialized for cylinders with diaphragm supports at the ends— via the employment of simple trigonometric series in the longitudinal direction—but extension to other end conditions is straightforward in principle. Detailed results of applications of the curved strip are presented.
