This document appears to be an exam for a course on Plates and Shells. It contains 5 questions, with subparts for some questions. Question 1 deals with calculating deflection and stress in circular and various boundary condition plates. Question 2 distinguishes membrane and exact plate theories and calculates deflection and stress in a simply supported plate. Question 3 is about stresses in conical and spherical shells using membrane theory. Question 4 covers merits and demerits of plate solution methods and designs a hyperbolic shell structure. Question 5 explains plate equations, develops membrane equations for a paraboloid shell, and calculates required thrust ring area for a spherical dome roof.
