Abstract: The existence, uniqueness, and qualitative nature of the everted state of spherical and cylindrical shells is examined for elastic materials with stress functions satisfying relatively simple restrictions. Qualitative analysis of the governing nonlinear ordinary differential equation is facilitated by recasting it in stress-stretch coordinates. One finds a continuum of solutions which meet the boundary conditions. Each corresponds uniquely to a shell of a particular thickness. We present numerical solutions which demonstrate the claims of the analysis.
