Abstract: An integration procedure for the differential equations for the finite deflections of clamped shallow spherical shells under uniform pressure is developed. Stability limits for the clamped shell are obtained for a range of the central height to thickness ratio from about 1 to 35. This serves to correct and extend previously known stability limits for this problem.
