Study Notes
Shell Structure Overview
- The outermost layer of a shell structure is crucial for supporting the entire object.
- This layer provides the structural integrity, enabling the object to maintain its form and withstand external forces.
- Different materials and designs are used in the outer shell depending on the specific object and intended use.
- The strength and resilience of the outer shell are vital for the overall stability and performance of the structure.
